Abstract
The concept of improving knee joint function by modifying the articular surfaces has received attention since the 19th century. The surgical techniques has varied from soft tissue interposition arthroplasty to resection arthroplasty to surface replacement arthroplasty. In surface replacement arthroplasty different types of prosthesis were developed to address the complex knee kinematics. Total Knee arthroplasty has brought to the field of orthopaedic surgery a successful and predictable procedure for the management of the painful and degenerative knee. Though there are procedures such as osteotomy, unicompartmental replacement, which could serve purpose in carefully selected patient populations, TKR remains by far the procedure of choice for many degenerative knees because of high reproducibility of predictable good to excellent results. A Prospective study was done after due approval of the ethical committee of kakatiya medical college. 26 patients who consented and underwent Total Knee Arthroplasty was done to analyze functional outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty using Knee Society score using a Posterior Cruciate sacrificing Knee Prosthesis and were assessed clinically, functionally and radiologically using Knee Society score. The postoperative discharge follow up period was at 3, 6 weeks 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. According to the Knee Society Clinical Scoring system of the 28 patients assessed in this study 24 patients (92.8%) had Excellent, 3 patients (5.4%) had fair and 1 patient (1.8%) had good results.
