Author(s): Dr. RK Ambulgekar and Dr. Akhil Mohan

Abstract: Background: Total knee arthroplasty has revolutionized the care of patients with end stage arthritic conditions. Increasing life expectancy, growing demand and success of this surgery have led to a significant increase in the number of total knee replacements. The present study was conducted to assess cases of total knee replacement in a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: The present prospective study was conducted in the department of Orthopedics. It comprised of 30 patients of both genders in which TKA was performed. A thorough clinical examination and Radiological assessment was performed. All patients were assessed clinically using the Range Of Motion and KneeSociety Score pre-operative and post-operative.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: In the present study total participants were 30 in which 66.67% were male and 33.33% were females. The functional outcome was evaluated using Knee Society Scoring which showed significant increase in KSS at 1, 6 and 12 months with improving knee function and patient quality of life over the course of a year. Conclusion: The present study concluded that maximum cases of total knee replacement were in males and functional outcome was excellent in maximum cases.
