This study will evaluate the iovera° device in treating pain associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study will also assess if overall pain medication is reduced following TKA and will investigate the relationship between patients treated with the iovera° device and length of hospital stay, pain, patient satisfaction and improved rehabilitation.

Cumulative Consumption of Opioids Total Daily Morphine Equivalent (TME) (mg/Day)
The cumulative morphine equivalent was divided by the number of days to provide a Total Daily Morphine Equivalent (TME) for each Subject.
Time frame: hospital discharge to 6 Weeks post-TKA surgery
Change in Pain From Baseline to Six Weeks
The Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS for Pain) is a measure of pain intensity which is assessed on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being the worst pain imaginable. The Subject provides a self-reported score based on their pain in the target knee at the time the questionnaire is administered (labeled 'now' in the tables below) as well as their pain in the past 7 days (labeled "past 7" in the tables below).
Time frame: Baseline to 6 Weeks
Change in WOMAC Scores at 6 Weeks After Surgery
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) is a tri-dimensional, disease-specific, Subject-reported outcome measure. It consists of 24 questions with 5 questions regarding pain, 2 questions regarding stiffness and 17 questions regarding function in Subjects with osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee. Each question is answered on a scale of 0 (none)-10 (extreme). Higher scores are associated with worse outcomes.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks after surgery
Length of Hospital Stay
Time frame: treatment to hospital discharge
Change in Active Range of Motion From Baseline to 2 Weeks After Surgery
Range of motion measures the physical function of the replaced knee during active flexion at the specified timepoints.
Time frame: baseline to 2 weeks after surgery

The 40 Meter Walk Test measured the average speed in meters per second a Subject could walk 40 meters.
Time frame: Baseline, 2,4,6,12 weeks
30 Second Chair Test
The 30 Second Chair Test evaluates physical function during recovery by measuring the number of times a subject could go from seated in a chair to standing over the course of 30 seconds.
Time frame: Baseline, 2,4,6,12 weeks after surgery
Change 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) From Baseline to 6 Weeks
The 36-question survey captures the Subject's perception of their general health by sorting them into multi-item scales that assess eight health concepts rather than a single total score. The survey used ten components to assess the health concepts: Physical, Mental, Physical Functioning, Role- Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role Emotional, and Health Transition. Subject responses to the SF-36 survey were recorded. Scores can range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health status, and a mean score of 50 has been articulated as a normative value for all scales.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 6
Change in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) From Baseline to Week 6
8 domains assessing physical, mental and social health while also covering important areas of self-reported health: pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep, and physical function. A high PROMIS domain sub-score indicates more of that concept being measured. PROMIS scores have a mean of 50 and standard deviation (SD) of 10 in a referent population. The referent population is usually the US General Population. lower scores are less favorable, and higher scores are more favorable.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks after surgery
