Abstract
Osteoarthritis is thought to be the most prevalent chronic joint condition. The obesity pandemic and the aging population are both factors in the rise in osteoarthritis cases. Pain and loss of function are the main clinical criteria that trigger treatment, encompassing non‐pharmacological, pharmaceutical, and surgical approaches. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasingly being used as a viable treatment option for severe arthritis. The component shape, the degree of conformity of the articulating surface and the anchoring technique are different for each of the systems. Research was needed to determine the efficacy of different prostheses after the emergence of these different types of prosthetics. Numerous grading systems were created as a result to assess the outcomes of total knee replacement. The Knee Society Score System is further classified into a functional score, which evaluates the patient's ability to walk and climb stairs and a knee score, which simply measures the knee joint itself. The issue of decreasing knee scores linked to patient infirmity is resolved by the dual rating method. Objective of the study is to look into the functional outcomes of a cemented complete knee replacement after primary osteoarthritis and to investigate the disadvantages of a cemented total knee replacement for osteoarthritic patient. Follow up is by Six weeks after surgery or one month after discharge, the patient was assessed for any signs of a post‐operative infection. After post‐operative infection was ruled out, the patient completed clinical and functional evaluations using the Knee Society Score at three‐and six‐month intervals following surgery. The average knee clinical score before surgery increased to 94.1 using the cemented posterior cruciate sacrificing design and the average knee functional score before surgery increased to 39.35 from an average post‐operative knee functional score of 84.75 at the one‐year follow‐up.
