Postural control in total knee arthroplasty patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome before and six months after re-operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Although excellent long-term clinical results have been reported for the total knee arthroplasty (TKA), 37% of patients have limited functional improvement one year after the surgery [1]. Patients with a clinical presentation of anterior knee pain could be diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Modified clinical classification of PFPS patients includes two main groups: with malalignment and with muscular dysfunction [2]. The aim of the study was to compare postural stability characteristics in TKA patients with PFPS before and six months after re-operation.
