Total knee prosthesis early results

Abstract

Between May 1990 and Agust 1991, 21 patients were treated by unilateral total knee prosthesis. Nine of them were treated by the kinematic condylar prosthesis with posterior cruciate retaining and twelve by total condylar prosthesis with posterior stabilization. Gonarthrosis in 18 patients (85.71%), traumatical osteoarthritis in 2 (9.5%7 and rheumatoid arthritis in 1 (4.7%) was found as a primary pathology. The average age of patients was 61 (57-72), mean follow-up was 9 months (1-16). The patients were evaluated by the knee scoring system of the knee society pre and postoperatively. . Preoperatively, mean knee score was 41.5 (24-60), mean functional score was 33.3 (0-55). Postoperatively it was 87 (82-91) for knee and 81.1 (64-95) for function.
