OBJECTIVE

Post TKR manipulation under anesthesia is required when post operatively patients don't achieve desired range of motion. The rates quoted in various western literature ranges from 1 to 2 %. A knee is considered to be stiff when the patient fails to achieve 60 degrees of flexion. The objective of the study was to find out the differentiating factor responsible for low rate of MUA in Indian post TKR patients as compared to Anglo-Saxon population

MATERIAL & METHODS

We studied 100 consecutive patients operated from January 2016. The following parameters of these 100 patients were recorded.

Pre-op ROM

Age and Sex of the TKR patient

Duration of home physiotherapy

Post opROM

All patients received post operative physiotherapy at home every day for first 2 weeks, 3 times a week for next 2 weeks and then once a week for next two weeks. The implant used was Maxx Freedom knee (PS design).

Introduction and aim

TKR remains one of the most successful surgeries in orthopedics. Still a sizeable number of patients remain dissatisfied reaching to a level of 30%. Our aim was to examine the excised synovium from the suprapatellar region in all osteoarthritic knees and evaluate the histopathological report to know if in a few cases the unrelenting pain and discomfort could be due to some undiagnosed pathology within the joint.

Materials and Methods

We selected 40 consecutive knees at our institution operated from Oct 2014 to Jan 2015. Of the total knees 7 patients were operated as single stage bilateral TKR. Supra patellar synovium was thoroughly excised and sent for histopathology examination. Patients who were clinically, serologically and radiologically diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis or sero negative arthritis were excluded. The implant used was Maxx Freedom knee (PS design).

INTRODUCTION

This study is to determine the response of CRP after TKR surgery, both unilateral and simultaneous bilateral TKR. According to the previously published literature from North America and Europe CRP value peaks on the 1st and 2nd post-operative day and then gradually comes down to normal by 6–8 weeks post-operatively.

AIM

To determine the trend of CRP in Indian patients undergoing TKR, both unilateral and simultaneous bilateral TKR. To see whether it follows the trend in North American and European population and to determine whether there is a difference in the CPR pattern in unilateral versus simultaneous bilateral TKR patients.

Introduction

Forgotten knee is the terminology which is used to describe a post TKR patient who is completely unaware of his knee implant. Various factors like age, sex, BMI, pre operative pain, pre operative patella symptoms have been studied to see their cause effect relationship on the achievement of forgotten knee status by the patient. All the published data till to date shows no relationship between thetwo

Aim

To determine whether pre operative DM negatively influence the achievement of forgotten knee status post TKR.

Tibial shaft fractures co-existing with osteoarthritis can increase the challenges for the orthopedic surgeon. The novel Londhe-Shah technique manages both the problems using one-stage total knee arthroplasty with a long stemmed tibial component which has a good diaphyseal fit. Three osteoarthritis patients with fractures of tibial shaft were treated with this technique and were followed up at 6-weeks, 12-weeks and 1-year (figure 1–3). A complete union of the fractured segment was achieved at follow-up without any adverse events such as infection, damage to the implant, and soft-tissue injury during and after surgery. The American Knee Society Score (AKSS) improved and WOMAC pain and stiffness scores reduced at follow-ups suggesting excellent improvement in functionality and patient satisfaction. One-stage TKR with a long-stem extension of the tibial component to bypass the fracture site mends and stabilises the fracture along with the adverse biomechanics at the fracture site while also correcting the arthritis. The single stage procedure allows early ambulation in six weeks.

Clostridium septicum gas gangrene (myonecrosis) is an acutely painful and rapidly fatal infection occurring in the absence of trauma. Urgent surgery is essential both to control pain and to ensure survival. Most patients who develop this infection have an underlying malignancy and clinicians should be aware of this association. We present a case of bifocal myonecrosis which to our knowledge has not been reported previously.
