Factors Influencing Range of Motion after Total Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND The range of motion after a total knee arthroplasty is an important clinical outcome affecting the life of the patient. The aim of this study was to determine the most important factors influencing the postoperative knee flexion in Tehran, Iran. METHODS Between July 2007 and January 2009, on 95 cases of total knee joint replacement (89 patients), who were followed for 1 year postop...
full textTarget range of motion for rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty
Objective: Postoperative knee range of motion (ROM) is among the most important factors influencing patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to clarify the time course of improvement in knee ROM up to 12 months after TKA, including intraoperative knee ROM after implantation, and to clarify a target ROM for rehabilitation after TKA. Patients and Met...
full textFactors Influencing Discharge Destination After Total Knee Arthroplasty
INTRODUCTION The demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues to challenge hospital financial resources. Hospitals have countered this economic demand by reducing patient length of stay (LoS), thus requiring a higher utilization of extended care facilities (ECF) and home with home health care (HHC). With an increase in the number of insured low-income families following the Affordable Car...
full textPreoperative factors influencing the range of movement after total knee arthroplasty for severe osteoarthritis.
We report a prospective study, using multivariate analysis, of the factors which influence the range of movement after total knee arthroplasty in 74 patients with 83 arthroplasties at a mean follow-up of 23.6 months (12 to 41). All the patients had a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, a severely disabled knee with a Knee Society system score of less than 60, varus deformity, no previous surgery to th...
full textEffect of continuous passive motion on knee flexion range of motion after total knee arthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE To compare mean knee flexion in patients on continuous passive motion and those without it after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS The randomised controlled study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, from July 2013 to June 2014, and comprised patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Patients were randomly assigned to either group, with Group A receiving standardised ...
full textPatella Eversion Reduces Early Knee Range of Motion and Muscle Torque Recovery after Total Knee Arthroplasty: Comparison between Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty and Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty
We hypothesized that patella eversion during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reduces early return of active knee extension and flexion, quadriceps muscle strength, and postoperative pain. In 100 conventional TKA knees and 100 minimally invasive TKA (MIS TKA) knees, we compared knee range of motion (ROM), postoperative pain, and quadriceps muscle strength at 1 day, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks...
