Background: Total knee arthroplasty has revolutionized the care of patients with end stage arthritic conditions. Increasing life expectancy, growing demand and success of this surgery have lead to signicant increase in the number of total knee replacements. The present study was conducted to assess cases of total knee replacement in a tertiary care centre. Material and Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted in the department of Orthopedics. It comprised of 180 patients of both genders in which TKA was performed. A thorough clinical examination and Radiological assessment was performed. All patients were assessed clinically using the knee society score. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: In the present study total participants were 180 in which 62.22% were male and 37.77% were females. The clinical outcome was excellent in 81.11%, good in 8.33%, fair in 3.88% and poor in 6.66% cases. Conclusion:The present study concluded that maximum cases of total knee replacement were in males and clinical outcome was excellent in maximum cases.
Background: Surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis remains an option for patients with persistent and severe symptoms that include both back and leg pain. In contrast, in nonsurgical treatment surgeons were encouraged to recommend active physical therapy (PT), education or counseling with home exercise instruction, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication. The present study was conducted to compare surgery versus non surgical treatment for lumber spinal stenosis. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted to compare surgery versus non surgical treatment for lumber spinal stenosis. Patients were randomly divided into two treatment groups; 1) surgical decompression or 2) physical therapy. The study was then fully explained to the subjects, after which they would be randomly assigned to have surgery or attend physical therapy. The Group I was patients with surgical treatment and Group II was patients with physical therapy. The primary outcome for the study was the Physical Function score on the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36) at baseline, 10 weeks, 26 weeks. All analyses were conducted in SAS version 9.3. Results: In the present study total sample size was 120 subjects per group, with a 50% split by gender (60 subjects per group). The mean age of surgery group was 64.8 and of physical therapy were 68.9. Maximum patients in both groups had no prior back surgeries for the same spinal segment. Baseline Mean changes in physical function for the surgery and PT groups were 25.9 and 28.8 respectively. 10 weeks Mean changes in physical function for the surgery and PT groups were 43.7 and 40.4 respectively. 26 weeks Mean changes in physical function for the surgery and PT groups were 48.1 and 46.5 respectively. Results showed that participants in both groups began to improve at 10 weeks; continued to improve through 26 weeks. Conclusion:The present study concluded that patients began to show improvement at the 10 week mark, continued to improve through 26 weeks of the study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
