Summary
Total knee replacement with endoprostheses significantly improved patient mobility and reduced pain. Most patients experienced better walking efficiency and limb alignment after the procedure.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Total knee replacement is a common procedure for end-stage knee arthritis.
- Endoprosthetic devices are designed to restore knee function and alleviate pain.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of total knee replacement using endoprostheses.
- To assess patient satisfaction and functional improvement following knee endoprosthetic surgery.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 78 knee endoprostheses in 68 patients.
- Clinical and radiological assessments pre- and post-surgery.
- Patient subjective evaluation of outcomes.
Main Results:
- Significant improvements in walking efficiency and mobility reported.
- Reduction or elimination of pain in the majority of patients.
- Correction of limb axis and excellent subjective patient evaluations observed.
Conclusions:
- Total knee replacement using endoprostheses yields favorable outcomes.
- The procedure effectively enhances function, reduces pain, and improves quality of life.
