摘要

Purpose

This study aimed to identify the key factors influencing post-operative range of motion after total knee arthroplasty. The primary determinants investigated were preoperative range of motion, intra-operative posterior condylar offset (PCO), posterior condylar offset ratio (PCOR), posterior tibial slope (PTS), and joint line height (JLH).

Methods

This prospective study enrolled 68 patients. PCO, PCOR, PTS, and JLH were assessed radiologically in both pre-operative and post-operative X-rays. The knee range of motion and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) were assessed at 2-year follow-up. Statistical analysis, including Student’s t test and correlation analysis, was employed to compare and correlate pre-operative and post-operative parameters.

Results

Pre-operative range of motion correlated with post-operative range of motion (p = 0.001). The study did not find a significant correlation when post-operative range of motion was correlated with PCO (p = 0.923), PCOR (p = 0.278), PTS (p = 0.604), and JLH (p = 0.488). Post-operative changes in PCO (p = 0.001) and PTS (p = 0.001) when compared to pre-operative values were significant. PCOR (p = 0.468) and JLH (p = 0.108) had no significant correlation with their respective pre-operative values. Pre-operative OKS: 18.23 ± 8.53, Post-operative OKS: 40.92 ± 4.0 (p = 0.001). Pre-operative maximum flexion: 93.31° ± 7.73°, post-operative maximum flexion angle: 111.83° ± 9.69° (p = 0.001).

Conclusion

Amongst the measured parameters, pre-operative range of motion was the primary factor influencing the range of motion attained after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
