Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Control: electrocauteryActive Control1 Intervention
Primary patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing Total Knee arthroplasty (TKA) will be randomly assigned into either the control or investigational group. The control arm of the study will undergo medial sub periosteal release with electrocautery.
Group II: Investigational: sharp dissection.Active Control1 Intervention
Primary patients with OA undergoing TKA will be randomly assigned into either the control or investigational group. The investigational arm will undergo medial sub periosteal release using sharp dissection.
