The effect of postoperative radiological alignment differences on the clinical and
functional evaluations of patients undergoing knee prosthesis
Erol Kaya
Merzifon Kara Mustafa Pasha State Hospital, Turkey
Background
: Gonarthrosis is a pathology that causes pain, limitation of movement, deformity, decrease in muscle strength,
decrease in proprioception, and decrease in quality of life. It’s a majör public health problem especially in the population over
55 years of age. Because of this, it’s emphasized that the treatment of the disease increasingly becoming more important and
precautions should be taken. Current and recent treatment option is total knee arthroplasty surgery (TKA) for gonarthrosis
treatment.
Methods
: We studied patients who had undergone total knee prosthesis formation of primary gonarthrosis between 2000-2014
in Dokuz Eylül University Orthopedics and Traumatology Department. 149 patients were included in the study. HSS score,
VAS and 30-second chair stand test, 50-step walking test, and 11-step ladder tests were tested. At the same time, we evaluated
the relation between the radiographic alignment differences and the range of flexion motion. We also looked at the relationship
between the radiological alignment differences between metaphysical lysis and revision necessity.
Results
: As a result of our study, it was seen that the postoperative radiological alignment differences did not make a statistically
significant difference on the mentioned quality of life scores and function evaluations. When metaphyseal lysis and revision
requirements were evaluated, we could see that postoperative residual varus and neutral alignment did not show any significant
difference with each other.
Conclusion
: We believe that, in addition to the alignment differences, the patient may affect TKA results in more than one state,
such as soft tissue balance, muscle strength, BMI, post-operative rehabilitation process.
