    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Knee joint destruction presents complex surgical challenges.
    • Rheumatoid arthritis significantly impacts knee joint health and surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze outcomes of 583 primary knee replacements.
    • To evaluate various prostheses based on knee joint destruction severity.
    • To address specific challenges in rheumatoid arthritis patients undergoing knee replacement.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 583 primary knee replacement cases.
    • Analysis of prosthesis selection according to joint damage.
    • Examination of patient data, particularly those with rheumatoid arthritis.

    Main Results:

    • Experience gained from a large cohort of primary knee replacements.
    • Discussion of prosthesis suitability across different stages of knee joint pathology.
    • Identification of specific issues related to rheumatoid arthritis in knee replacement surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Prosthesis choice is critical and depends on the stage of knee joint destruction.
    • Rheumatoid arthritis poses unique challenges requiring specialized consideration.
    • Further research is needed to identify common factors essential for successful knee replacement outcomes.
