Short Term Post-Operative Outcomes of Unilateral and Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty
Keywords:
Knee osteoarthritis, Total knee arthroplastyAbstract
Background: Increasing in old age group. The number of knee osteoarthritis patient was also increase. Many patients need to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that show good outcome. But some patients in Maharaj hospital were hesitated due to long hospitalization and post-operative pain.
Objectives: To study short term post-operative outcomes during hospitalization of unilateral and bilateral total knee arthroplasty in Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat hospital.
Material and Methods: Retrospective study inpatient and outpatient data of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty by single orthopedic surgeon during august 2020 to august 2021 in Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat hospital.
Results: Total of 40 patients, one was excluded. 29 unilateral TKA and 10 bilateral TKA data were collected. Unilateral TKA and bilateral TKA patients had pain in VAS score day 1 2.93 and 3.40, day 2 2.96 and 2.90. Morphine consumption 3.30 mg and 2.40 mg. Blood loss (hematocrit) 4.03% and 4.80%. Length of stay 3.93 days and 4.00 days respectively. All patients can walk in first 24 hour and none of them have complication.
Conclusion: The results of unilateral and bilateral total knee arthroplasty were good. All patients can walk in first 24 hours and had no complication. Not severe pain and short duration of hospitalization that make patient confident and can return to daily life activity better.
