Efficacy of Diosmin In Reducing Lower-Extremity Swelling & Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Efficacy of Diosmin in Reducing Lower-Extremity Swelling and Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized, Controlled Multicenter Trial.
J Bone Joint Surg Am . 2024 Mar 20;106(6):492-500.Three hundred thirty patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis were randomized to receive diosmin (n=167) or no diosmin (n=163). The diosmin group received 0.9 g twice daily for 14 days postoperatively, while the control group received no treatment or placebo. The primary outcome of interest was lower-extremity swelling measured at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 14 days postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included pain during motion, pain at rest, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, range of motion, levels of inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6), and the incidence of complications. Outcomes were assessed up to 14 days postoperatively. Overall, the results of the study revealed that diosmin significantly reduced lower-extremity swelling and pain during motion compared to the control group. The study suggests that diosmin may be beneficial in reducing postoperative swelling and pain after TKA, but further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
