Abstract
Objective To explore the safety of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its impact on patients' postoperative pain and quality of life. Methods A total of 60 KOA patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the research objects. The knee joint scores (HSS) before and after TKA were compared, and the patients' quality of life was evaluated using the Osteoarthritis Index of Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC). At the same time, the number of patients with complications was recorded, and the efficacy of TKA was comprehensively analyzed. Results The postoperative HSS score was significantly higher than the preoperative score (P < 0.05), the postoperative pain score increased with time, and the pain gradually decreased. The postoperative WOMAC score was significantly lower than the preoperative score (P < 0.001), and the score at 6 months after surgery was significantly lower than that at 3 months after surgery (P < 0.001). There were no complications such as severe prosthesis fracture, secondary sepsis, and patellar tendon rupture, and the total incidence of complications was 11.7%. The effective rate of treatment at 6 months after operation was 98.3%, which was significantly higher than that at 3 months after operation (P < 0.05). Conclusion Total knee arthroplasty can improve the knee joint function of patients with knee osteoarthritis, with low postoperative pain, low complication rate, and good quality of life for patients. It is worthy of promotion and application.
Highlights
More people suffer from knee osteoarthritis (KOA) all around the world with the growing population of old people, and this disease will lead to physiologic dysfunction in knee joints. e patients suffer from pain and swelling of joints and face the risk of completely losing the knee function, so the interventional therapy should be carried out as soon as possible to ensure their life and health [1,2,3]
Conclusion is study concluded that WOMAC scores of patients after surgery were significantly lower than the score before surgery (P < 0.001), and the effective rate of treatment of patients at 6 months after surgery was 98.3%, indicating that total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has a high value in improving the comprehensive condition of patients, accelerating their recovery after TKA, and significantly improving their quality of life
It is noteworthy that this study only investigated the curative effect of patients within 6 months after surgery, and the long-term treatment outcomes cannot be judged comprehensively. It is generally believed in academic circles that the effective rate of treatment will decline at one year after TKA, but the decline is still higher than that at 3 months after surgery, indicating that the recovery of knee joint function tends to be stable at one year after surgery, and TKA has a stable treatment effect
Summary
More people suffer from knee osteoarthritis (KOA) all around the world with the growing population of old people, and this disease will lead to physiologic dysfunction in knee joints. e patients suffer from pain and swelling of joints and face the risk of completely losing the knee function, so the interventional therapy should be carried out as soon as possible to ensure their life and health [1,2,3]. More people suffer from knee osteoarthritis (KOA) all around the world with the growing population of old people, and this disease will lead to physiologic dysfunction in knee joints. E patients suffer from pain and swelling of joints and face the risk of completely losing the knee function, so the interventional therapy should be carried out as soon as possible to ensure their life and health [1,2,3]. TKA is a comprehensive expression of medical science and can be used for treating various terminal stage diseases of knee joints. The continuous optimization of related technologies improves the curative effect of TKA, and practical achievements show that TKA has a positive effect on relieving pain and promoting the recovery process of knee function of patients. This study aims to explore the actual application effect of TKA, and 60 cases with KOA admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected for the study, with summary as follows.
