The dependent variable is the TKA procedure. Independent Variable is Age, gender, grade of knee osteoarthritis, comorbidities, and complications Data from the medical record was collected and stored in a Microsoft Office Excel 365 spreadsheet, the distributive table was analyzed and collected by using SPSS.Results: Patient characteristic is dominated by an elderly female (84.2%), with age group 61-70 (38.6%).
