Aging and osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with a high risk of muscle mass loss, which can lead to physical disability. This study investigated the effectiveness of protein supplementation combined with exercise training (PS + ET) in improving muscle mass and functional outcomes in older adults with lower-limb OA. A comprehensive search of online databases was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of PS + ET in older adults with hip or knee OA. Meta-analysis and risk of bias assessment of the included RCTs were conducted. Six RCTs were included in this systemic review; they had a median (range/total) Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) score of 7 (6–9) out of 10, respectively. Five RCTs that enrolled patients who underwent total joint replacement were included in this meta-analysis. The PS + ET group exhibited significant improvements in muscle mass (standard mean difference [SMD] = 1.13, p < 0.00001), pain (SMD = 1.36, p < 0.00001), and muscle strength (SMD = 0.44, p = 0.04). Our findings suggest that PS + ET improves muscle mass, muscle strength, and functional outcomes and reduces pain in older adults with lower-limb OA, particularly in those who have undergone total joint replacement.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of patient-controlled analgesia through prolonged epidural analgesia after joint replacement of the lower extremities. Material and methods. We analyzed the postoperative period of 213 elderly and senile patients who were operated on for degenerative-dystrophic and traumatic injuries of the joints of the lower extremities. All patients underwent total joint replacement (164 - THA and 49 - TKA). The age of patients is from 65 to 90 years (average age was 78 ± 8 years) with a physical status of ASA 3 and above. All examined patients were divided into 2 groups. 63 patients comprised the main group, which in the postoperative period underwent patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) through prolonged epidural analgesia. The control group consisted of 150 patients, for the anesthesia of which in the postoperative period only standard systemic multimodal analgesia was used Conclusion. Patient-controlled analgesia is an alternative to traditional analgesic regimens. This method should be one of the main methods after surgical anesthesia for joint replacement of the lower limb in elderly and senile patients.
