Abstract
Many total knee arthroplasties in osteoarthritis Knees are being performed nowadays. The clinic-radiological profile of these cases is varied. The study is to assess the clinical and radiological outcome in cases of osteoarthritis knee that have undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Materials & methods: The randomly selected 64 patients, who had undergone TKR for osteoarthritis knee during the preceding 36 months were studied, retrospectively. Their records were evaluated in depth after getting ethical clearance. The preoperative routine and clinical assessment data were noted from the records. Wherever needed, the patients were also examined and interviewed physically during their follow-up at their convenience and after taking the individual’s due consent. It was to fill the gaps wherever felt. The data and results thus collected were recorded in a Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Student t-test and Pearson’s correlation were used for evaluation of the level of significance.
Results: According to KL grading, 28.13 per cent and 26.56 per cent of the patients were of Grades 3 and 4, respectively while 25 per cent and 20.31 per cent of the patients were of Grades 2 and 1, respectively.
Conclusion: It seems possible that the relationship between clinical and radiographic osteoarthritis severity and postoperative outcomes might be relatively unrelated to the relationship seen between preoperative KSS and postoperative outcomes. To understand and establish this relationship, further work is needed
