“…Nowadays, more than 700,000 patients undergo TKA annually in the United States, [4] and this amount is expected to increase by around 673% by 2030 [5]. Similarly, more than 100,000 TKAs are performed in the United Kingdom every year [6]. The increase in the incidence of primary osteoarthritis causes an increase in the number of these replacements, while the number of inflammatory arthropathies tended to be unchanged over the past ten years due to the usage of efficient antirheumatic medication [7].…”

This study aimed to investigate the association between objective baropodometric and radiological measurements and patient self-reported functional outcomes, assessed through the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Additionally, it sought to evaluate the effectiveness of static baropodometry in predicting short-term KOOS results following unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We conducted a prospective single-center study involving 32 patients who underwent unilateral TKA for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Patients were evaluated both preoperatively and six months postoperatively, utilizing objective measurements derived from static baropodometric analysis in a normal, relaxed, bipedal standing position using a multi-platform Plantar Pressure Analysis System (PPAS) and radiographic measurements of the femorotibial angle (FTA) and subjective assessments through the national validated version of the KOOS. The study found an insignificant average correction of −0.69° ± 4.12° in the preoperative FTA at the sixth month after TKA. Moreover, there were no significant differences in the KOOS based on different types of knee alignment (KA) both pre- and postoperatively (p > 0.05). No significant correlations were observed between the KOOS, and total average affected and unaffected plantar pressures (TAAPP and TAUPP) pre- and postoperatively, as well as KA pre- and postoperatively. However, significant changes were observed in TAAPP and TAUPP measurements after unilateral TKA. TAAPP demonstrated a significant increase postoperatively (mean change (SD) = 18.60 (47.71); p = 0.035). In conclusion, this study found no significant correlation between KA, static baropodometric measurements, including pre- and postoperative differences, and KOOS outcomes. Therefore, static plantar pressure measurements alone might not serve as a reliable predictor of short-term clinical outcomes after unilateral TKA, as reported by patients.
