This non-blinded randomised controlled trial compared the effect
of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) A total of 242 patients were randomised; 20 were excluded due
to failure of spinal anaesthesia leaving 109 patients in the PCEA
group and 113 in the LIA group. Patients were reviewed at six weeks
and one year post-operatively.Aims
Patients and Methods
We performed A total of 12 cadaveric lower limbs were tested with a commercial
image-free navigation system using trackers secured by bone screws.
We then tested a non-invasive fabric-strap system. The lower limb
was secured at 10° intervals from 0° to 60° of knee flexion and
100 N of force was applied perpendicular to the tibia. Acceptable
coefficient of repeatability (CR) and limits of agreement (LOA)
of 3 mm were set based on diagnostic criteria for anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) insufficiency.Objectives
