The influence of previous arthroscopic treatment on subsequent primary total knee arthroplasty: the comparison between bilateral knees of the same patient

Abstract Background To explore whether previous arthroscopic knee surgery affects future total arthroplasty (TKA) results or not . Methods A of 56 patients with the treatment on one underwent subsequent bilateral in our hospital from September 2012 to July 2018. Data each patient were collected regards changes postoperative clinical and functional scores, various other as well recovery complications. We defined knees a history group A, counter side B. The Knee Society score, range motion (ROM), finger joint size (FJS), visual analogue scale (VAS) scores assessed before after surgery. Using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test test normality continuous variables, chi-square compare rate reoperation complications between two groups. For all statistical comparisons, P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results There no statistically significance differences found B, ROM, FJS, VAS local Conclusion significant patients, who arthroscopy.
