Abstract/Text
BACKGROUND: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a cemented technique has been recommended in patients with rheumatoid arthritis owing to the initial stability of the fixation and long-term durability of the components; however, similar long-term follow-up results have been reported in patients who have undergone cementless TKA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiologic and clinical outcomes of cementless TKA in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
METHODS: We enrolled patients undergoing cementless TKA from March 1990 to February 2000. Clinical and radiologic evaluations were performed using the Knee Society clinical rating system and radiographic evaluation and scoring system.
RESULTS: We included the cases of 112 patients who underwent 179 cementless TKA procedures in our analysis. Their mean age was 62.3 years, and the mean follow-up period was 10.1 years. The final survival rate was 0.968 at the 15.5-year follow-up. Regarding radiologic results after surgery, the mean total valgus angle was 6.7°, the mean femoral flexion angle was 97.5° and the mean tibial angle was 89.2° on the anteroposterior radiographs. On the lateral films, the mean femoral flexion angle was 1.6° and the mean tibial angle was 89.2°. At the last follow-up, the mean total valgus angle was 6.5°, the mean femoral flexion angle was 97.4° and the mean tibial angle was 89.1°, as seen on the anteroposterior view. On the lateral views, the mean femoral flexion angle was 1.4° and the mean tibial angle was 89.0°. Regarding the clinical outcome, the mean knee score and function score on the Knee Society clinical rating system were also enhanced from 47.5 and 43.6, respectively, before the operation to 91.2 and 82.3, respectively, at the last follow-up.
CONCLUSION: On radiologic and clinical follow-up of cementless TKA for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there were no serious complications, and the results of the operation were satisfactory with improvement in range of motion and clinical symptoms.
