Abstract :
Background
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease in
India, affecting 22 Pecentage to 39 Pecentage of the population. Compared
to men, women are more prone to have OA, and as they
age, this prevalence increases dramatically. In terms of
nonfatal burden, OA was ranked as the tenth most
common cause. Osteoarthritis is believed to be brought on
by mechanical stress on the joint and low-grade
inflammatory processes. Given the prevalence of knee
arthritis, total knee arthroplasty TKA is one of the most
common orthopaedic surgeries carried out globally. We
evaluated the patients' functional recovery and result
following total knee arthroplasty, taking into account their
range of motion, independence in climbing stairs, and
ability to kneel.
Methods
Evaluation of post TKA patients functional abilities
using the Insall Knee Score, Oxford Knee Score, range of
motion, and independent stair climbing ability in patients
with osteoarthritis who had TKA. 46 patients, ages 45 to
80 years, of both sexes, were brought to the Annapoorana
Medical College Hospital in Salem with advanced
osteoarthritis in their knee joints; these individuals had
total knee arthroplasty as treatment. This observational
study is retro-prospective and was conducted from May
2021 to October 2023, with a follow-up period of two
years.
Results
After a total knee replacement for osteoarthritis, the
patient's functional status significantly improves, with the
capacity to carry out everyday tasks being the ultimate
objective. This dissertation validates it once more. We find
that during the one-year post operative follow up period,
there was a significant improvement in the functional
outcome indicated by the Insall knee score, range of
motion, and capacity to climb stairs independently.
Nevertheless, the patient's ability to kneel was not
observed to have improved. Despite their simplicity, knee
movements are involved in a wide range of complex
circumstances, each of which needs its own independent
study. This could contribute to improved knee
arthroplasty patient prognosis.
