Titre :	Functional outcome following primary total knee arthroplasty cannot be predicted using the initial post-operative radiograph
Type de document :	texte imprimé

Mots-clés :	Primary knee arthroplasty  Functional outcome  Plain radiograph  Total knee arthroplasty  Functional score
Résumé :	Obtaining standardised post-operative radiographs following total knee arthroplasty is common practice. Little is known regarding how measurements taken from the initial post-operative radiograph correlate to functional outcome. The initial post-operative radiographs for 110 primary total knee arthroplasties were reviewed retrospectively. Femoral and tibial component alignment was measured by two independent consultant radiologists. Functional outcome was assessed by the Oxford Knee Score pre-operatively and one year post-operatively. Correlation was determined by Pearson correlation analysis. There was no significant correlation between the radiographic measurements with the one year post-operative Oxford Knee Score nor was there significant correlation with the difference in pre-operative and post-operative scores. The initial post-operative radiograph cannot be used as a tool to reliably predict functional outcome at one year.
