Functional outcome of total knee arthroplasty among patients having osteoarthritis
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Primary osteoarthritis is more common in weight bearing joints. More than 85% of individuals older than 65 years of age have radiographically visible osteoarthritis. Objective: To assess the post-operative functional results in the replaced knee. Methodology: Experimental study conducted by involving 25 patients with 30 knee sites having diagnosed osteoarthritis. Results: Majority of knee sites i.e. 66.7% were unilateral and 33.3% were bilateral. Out of 30 sites operated 17 i.e. 56.7% were female knees and 13 i.e. 43.3% were male knees. Mean age of study population was 63.4 years. 64% could walk more than 10 blocks. 24 (80%) knee joints out of 30 achieved movements range upto 90 to 100 degrees postoperatively. Conclusion: Relief of pain is predictable and often total. Walking ability of all the patients improved significantly with good stability of knee joint.
