Comparative Outcomes of Total vs. Partial Knee Replacement: Assessing the Efficacy and Patient Satisfaction in Orthopaedic Surgical Interventions
Received Date: May 01, 2024 / Published Date: May 29, 2024
Abstract
Introduction: Knee replacement surgery is a common orthopaedic procedure aimed at alleviating pain and improving function in patients with severe knee joint damage. While total knee replacement (TKR) is the standard approach, some patients may benefit from partial knee replacement (PKR) based on their unique clinical presentation. This study aims to compare the outcomes of TKR and PKR, focusing on efficacy and patient satisfaction.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of orthopaedic surgical data from OrthoCare Hospital & Clinic was conducted, including patients who underwent either TKR or PKR between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022. Outcome measures included postoperative pain scores, functional improvement (measured by range of motion and functional tests), complications, revision rates, and patient-reported satisfaction scores.
Results: Preliminary analysis revealed Preliminary findings suggest that partial knee replacement (PKR) patients exhibited faster postoperative recovery with lower complication rates compared to total knee replacement (TKR) patients. However, TKR showed slightly better long-term functional improvement. Detailed statistical analyses and further data interpretation are ongoing. Specific findings regarding pain relief, functional improvement, complication rates, revision rates, and patient satisfaction will be presented in detail in the final study report.
Discussion: The findings of this study will contribute to the ongoing discussion regarding the optimal surgical approach for knee replacement. By comparing TKR and PKR outcomes, orthopaedic surgeons can make more informed decisions tailored to individual patient needs, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
Conclusion: This study aims to provide valuable insights into the comparative outcomes of TKR and PKR in orthopaedic surgical practice. Understanding the differences in efficacy and patient satisfaction between these procedures will guide evidence-based decision-making and enhance patient-centered care in the field of orthopaedics.
