Sequenced Strategy for Improving Outcomes in People With Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
There is an urgent public health need to reduce reliance on opioids for effective long-term pain management, particularly in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This effectiveness trial will compare commonly recommended treatments to reduce pain and functional limitations in KOA.These results will lead to improved patient selection for treatment and inform evidence based guidelines by offering well-tested, effective, non-surgical alternatives.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis
open to eligible people ages 45-75
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee. BMAC provides a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is a stem cell-based therapy that has been reported to preserve or improve the structure of joints. The Angel System is the device used in this study to concentrate bone marrow from the patient and is intended to separate a mixture of blood and bone marrow and collect plasma rich platelets preoperative to a surgical procedure. The goal of this study is to identify whether BMAC can be an effective and safe treatment for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Anti-inflammatory (ITIS) Diet in Knee Osteoarthritis
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
To study the effect of anti-inflammatory diet on clinical and biological outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis

iPACK Block With Dexamethasone For Total Knee Replacement
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
Comparing the pain control outcomes for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with either: 1) adductor canal single shot injection plus placebo iPACK injection or 2) adductor canal single shot injection plus bupivacaine and dexamethasone iPACK injection. There are two surgical approaches for TKA 1) open 2) ROSA robotic assisted. Both follow the same pain management pathway. We plan to enroll patient undergoing either surgical procedure.

Evaluate Functional Outcome After Knee Replacement
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Patients will be consecutively enrolled by implant. Implant groups will be those who have undergone surgery with either a ConforMIS iTotal® CR TKA or an Off-the- Shelf (OTS) system. The patient will conduct functional testing and answer questionnaires. The results will compare the ConforMIS iTotal with an Off the Shelf Knee replacement.
