Abstract
Osteoarthritis being the most prevalent joint disease and Total knee arthroplasty is the most frequently performed surgical procedure there is a constant effort to reduce post‐operative outcome and in turn reduce hospital stay. There is no rational comparison between them with respect to clinical outcome so in order to compare and come to conclusion which approach is associated with better post‐operative result we need the study to be undertaken. A Randomized control study in 50 patients with osteoarthritis of knee treated with total knee replacement divided into 2 equal groups of 25 each. Group A underwent TKR via medial parapatellar approach and Group B underwent TKR via mid vastus approach at Victoria hospital. Patients followed up, evaluated and assessed on day 1, 3, 7, 1st month and 6th month for ROM, Straight leg raise, visual analogue scale and Tegner‐Lysholm knee score 6 month post operatively. 50 patients undergoing TKR were divided into two groups of 25 each. With mean age of 60.28 in group A and 62 in group B. Where group B show statistically significant P value on day 1 and 3 in terms of ROM, VAS score and significant P value on day 1 in terms of SLR, with statistically insignificant difference among 2 groups in terms of Tegner‐Lysholm score.
