Amazing publication Dr Wickline. Congratulations and very excited to now have the Inkwell version of your protocol available for clinics to use with the Inkwell Health system that measures swelling, range of motion, temperature, pain, steps and activity!
Just published in The Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation, a new article by the research team run by Andrew Wickline that reviews a real-life multimodal post-operative swelling intervention protocol! From the article: "Post-operative dissatisfaction is often multifactorial with patients citing continued pain, decreased mobility, limited improvement in knee function and chronic swelling to be among the most common complaints. Acute tissue swelling after TKA can lead to overall patient discomfort, decreased joint range of motion (ROM), while lengthening the post-op recovery period. The purpose of this study was to compare patient outcome measures after the addition of an intraoperative anti-inflammatory bactericidal rinse, a post-operative cryocompression device, extended length oral tranexamic acid, and edema-controlling stockinette to previously published control group data."
