Abstract:

Objective

To analysisthe relationship between joint stiffness after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and contralateral TKA.

Methods

Cases of total kneearthroplasty in theorthopaedics department of xx People’s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) stiffness scale 12 months after TKA, cases were divided into non-stiff group and stiff group. Survival analysis was performed and log-rank, Wilcoxon test were taken, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

In the non-stiff group and the stiff group, the contralateral knee TKA was performed after the primary TKA (31.1±1.4) months and (23.9±1.5) months, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the second contralateral TKA interval between the two groups (log-rank test χ2=26.130, P<0.05; Wilcoxon test χ2=18.286, P<0.05).

Conclusion

In the patients with stiff joints after the primary TKA, the time to the contralateral TKA will be earlier than that with non-stiff. joints.
