【 摘 要 】

The aim of this study is to determine the outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) following patients with and without deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using patient-reported quality of life outcomes and therapist-reported knee range of motion. We carried out a retrospective study of 157 patients who underwent primary TKA at one large regional hospital. Thirty-six patients developed DVT after TKA. We scored patients at pre-operation, six months and two years post-operation using Short Form-36, Knee Society Clinical Rating System, Oxford 12-item Knee Score questionnaires, and knee range of motion. Our study found that there was no significant difference in the patient-reported quality of life outcomes and therapist-reported knee range of motion between patients who had developed DVT and those who did not.
