Patients Still Wish for Key Improvements after Total Knee Arthroplasty

Abstract: PurposeOur goals were to rigorously document and explore the interrelationships of various parameters in the aftermath of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including patient characteristics, clinical scores, satisfaction levels, and patient-perceived improvements.Materials and MethodsA questionnaire addressing sociodemographic factors, levels of satisfaction, and "wished-for" improvements was administered to 180 patients at least 1 year post primary TKA. Both satisfaction levels and wished-for improvements were a… Show more

“…Baker et al 10) reviewed the data from the National Joint Registry for England and Wales: 71% of the patients perceived improvement of knee symptoms, but only 22% rated the results as 'excellent'. Kim et al 11) reported that in spite of the clear evidence of improvement after TKA in terms of restoration of daily living activities and pain relief, patient satisfaction level was moderate.…”

“…[ 10 ] The time course for the decrease and recovery of quadriceps muscle strength from before to after surgery may help in planning rehabilitation schedules for patients who undergo TKA, [ 11 ] because rapid recovery to an adequate level of quadriceps strength is key to functional performance. [ 4 , 12 ] Most previous studies, however, have evaluated postoperative quadriceps strength on the TKA side relative to the uninvolved side at a single time point, such as 3, 6, or 12 months after surgery. [ 7 , 11 , 13 ] In addition, few studies have evaluated the time course of recovery of hamstring muscle strength.…”

“…Despite the generally successful results of contemporary TKAs, many patients remain dissatisfied with the performance of their replaced knees [1,8,20]. The frustration may be even more pronounced among Asian patients, as their functional demands related to a floor-based lifestyle are generally greater than Western patients [7]. Furthermore, if Asian patients have certain demographic and anatomical characteristics known to affect clinical outcomes, special strategies to accom modate the unique nature of Asian patients may be required for preoperative patient counseling, prosthesis design, surgical technique, and postoperative rehabilitation.…”
