Abstract: Aim: The outcomes of total knee replacement (TKR) surgical procedures are predictable. The purpose of this observational study was to assess the efficacy of total knee replacements in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Materials and methods: We selected 25 individuals (25 knees) who provided informed consent and met our criteria from the outdoor clinic to participate in the study. The participants were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at the six-month follow-up using the Knee Society Score (KSS). The resulting data were subsequently analyzed.
Results: We observed that the mean knee society score increased from 22.7 to 79 and the mean functional score rose from 34 to 77.3 during the course of our study. Severe pain prompted the majority of study participants to undergo total joint arthroplasty; pain relief was identified as the most crucial long-term outcome for patients, and this finding correlates with patient satisfaction. The rate of complications was 5%. The knee society score exhibited a substantial increase subsequent to total knee replacement in comparison to the scores obtained prior to the procedure.
Conclusion: Based on our findings, total knee replacement is a dependable and risk-free therapeutic approach that can be executed with outcomes comparable to those reported in other international studies.
