Total knee arthroplasty in multiple sclerosis

Abstract: We present a case report of total knee arthroplasty complicated by spasticity and contractures in a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS). Four previous case reports in the literature describe adverse outcomes after total knee arthroplasty in persons with MS secondary to severe spasticity. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations for persons with MS, which may help to improve functional outcomes, are discussed. Prospective research is needed among persons with MS to help determine the timi… Show more

“…4 Moreover, immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive medications for MS may impair healing and lead to higher infection rates. 5 Thus, outcomes of arthroplasty in the general population cannot be extrapolated to persons with MS. At the same time, the need for joint replacement may be higher in people with MS than in the general population because people with MS, in addition to primary osteoarthritis, also develop secondary osteoarthritis and are prone to traumatic falls and avascular necrosis (AVN) due to corticosteroid use. Prevalence estimates of knee replacement in MS range from 1% to 1.5% and of hip replacement, from 0.5% to 1.5%.…”

“…3 To our knowledge, a systematic review of outcomes of knee and hip replacements in persons with MS has not been performed. The literature is limited to case reports and case series that focus on adverse events, [4][5][6][7][8] such as a series of four patients with MS with knee replacement, all of whom required repeated operation for aseptic failure or instability. 5 These reports, although instructive, cannot be used to assess risks and benefits of these procedures in people with MS.…”

“…28 The higher proportion of spasticity seen in the MS group could be expected, since it is a common symptom in this disease. [13][14][15]17 The annual number TKAs performed in MS patients increased a Data missing or unknown for some patients: for gender, N ¼ 9,563 missing for controls. Fig.…”

“…14 The development of end-stage knee osteoarthritis is usually independent of the disease, and when MS patients become TKA candidates, surgeons may be faced with a more challenging postoperative rehabilitation process. 15 This is particularly true when the patients' have limited range-ofmotion, flexion contractures, and poor physical function. 12,15,16 Furthermore, the current literature on MS patients who undergo TKA is lacking and limited to a few case reports.…”
