Effect of patellofemoral abnormality on function after total knee arthroplasty

Abstract

Abstract:

Total knee arthroplasty has been shown to be reliable at improving function in the patients with end-stage arthritis of the knee. The ten-year survivorship exceeds 90%. However, there are 15%-20% of patients who report dissatisfaction following primary TKA. In this crowd, anterior knee pain and decreased range of motion caused by patellofemoral abnormality may be the most important reason for patient′s dissatisfied with the treatment results. Patellofemoral abnormality mainly includes patellar maltracking, thickened patellofemoral composite and patellofemoral instability. In addition, the causes of patellofemoral abnormality include patient-related factors, surgical-related factors and prosthesis-related factors. Among them, surgical-related factors are vital for the postoperative functional recovery and most relevant to surgeons.

Key words: Arthroplasty, replacement, knee, Patellofemoral pain syndrome, Postoperative complications
