Outcome of patients in term of range of motion after total Knee Arthroplasty with all poly implants.

Background: Worldwide millions of people undergo joint replacement surgery to decrease the morbidity. The main indication for these surgeries is loss of function and pain. Similarly, knee replacement is done when degeneration and destruction of the knee create disability and decrease function of the knee. There are a number of implant types available but the use of an all-polyethylene tibial component in primary total knee replacement remains an att ractive option, considering the durability and lower cost. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the pre-operative and post-operative range of motion (ROM) After total knee replacement at 6th, 12th and 48th weeks follow up using all poly implants. Material and Method: It is a prospective case series in which 111 subjects with total knee replacement in whom all poly implants were used and were assessed for range of motion at knee using simple goniometry examination at regular intervals were included. All data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 version. Results: On goniometry examination, ROM at 6 weeks averaged 700 and at 12 weeks averaged 1,000 and on last follow up was 1,100. Conclusion: Total knee replacement with all poly implants has excellent results in terms of range of the motion of the knee. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
