Summary

Total knee replacement (TKR) in diabetic patients yields comparable functional outcomes to non-diabetic patients. Careful glycemic control is crucial for successful TKR in diabetic individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Diabetic Complications
  • Rheumatology

Context:

  • Diabetic patients often present with comorbidities affecting surgical outcomes.
  • Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common procedure for arthritis management.
  • Limited data exists on TKR outcomes specifically in diabetic populations.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the functional outcomes and complication rates of TKR in diabetic patients.
  • To compare TKR results in diabetics with those in non-diabetic rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA) patients.

Summary:

  • Sixteen TKRs were performed on 9 diabetic patients (7 RA, 2 OA) between 1987 and 1995.
  • Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores significantly improved postoperatively (30.2 to 78.2) and remained high at follow-up (74.4).
  • While functional outcomes were similar to non-diabetic controls, the infection rate was higher (3.5%) in the diabetic group.

Impact:

  • TKR can achieve satisfactory functional results in diabetic patients.
  • Effective glycemic control and medical management are essential for optimizing TKR outcomes in diabetics.
  • Higher infection rates in diabetics necessitate vigilant perioperative care and monitoring.
