Knee manipulation following total knee arthroplasty

摘要: Abstract In an effort to identify prognostic indicators for knee manipulation, the authors retrospectively reviewed records of 60 osteoarthritic patients with posterior stabilized implants who required manipulation (94 knees) between January 1984 and December 1986. They also studied 28 consecutive were implanted 41 knees 1985 September whose did not require (control group). both patient groups following parameters assessed compared: overall alignment, joint line elevation, anterior (AP) dimension knee, AP placement tibial component, patellar height, obesity, age, preoperative flexion, time single vs bilateral implants, final Hospital Special Surgery (HSS) score, development heterotopic ossification. The findings this study showed that increase in by 12% or greater was a critically independent variable significantly pre- disposed manipulation. show quadriceps adhesions another major factor leading rupturing these led This review indicated 3 months after arthroplasty significant evaluation because flexion HSS score at point patient's recovery positively correlated score.
