Abstract
The efficacy of total knee arthroplasty in alleviating pain, restoring physical functionality and enhancing the quality of life for those suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis is now firmly established. The primary objectives of rehabilitation are to alleviate pain and enhance functional recovery, particularly by attaining a satisfactory range of motion (ROM) for activities such as stair climbing and walking. This study is a prospective observational study conducted in a hospital setting to examine the functional result of Cemented Total Knee Arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis. The study was conducted from February 2020 through July 2021. A total of 20 patients who gave their consent and underwent sequential Total Knee Arthroplasty were clinically and functionally evaluated using the Knee Society score. According to the Knee Society Clinical Scoring system of the 20 patients assessed in this study 16 patients (80%) had Excellent and 4 patients (20 %) had good results. According to the Knee Society Functional Scoring system of the 20 patients assessed in this study 14 patients (70%) had Excellent, 4 patients (20%) had Good and 02 patients (10%) had Fair results. Total Knee Arthroplasty improves the functional ability of the patient and the ability of the patient to get back to pre‐disease state, which is to have a pain free mobile joint, as reflected by the improvement in the post‐op Knee Clinical Score and Knee Functional Score.
