【 摘 要 】

This study examined quality of life (SF-36), Clinical Knee Society (Function/Knee) score and Oxford Knee score of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with persistent fixed flexion deformity (FFD) ≥10° at six months follow-up. Pre-operative and post-operative clinical data of Group 1 (n=95; 0°< FFD<10°), Group 2 (n=39; FFD>10°) and Control (n=209; FFD=0°) were analysed. FFD improvement was maintained in Control and Group 1 at two years while Group 2 demonstrated little change. Flexion decreased at six months before improving at two years post-TKA was noted in all groups. For Control, significant improvements in majority of SF-36's domains except general health were observed. For Groups 1 and 2, significant improvements were observed in SF-36's physical role, physical role functioning, bodily pain, and social role functioning. Vitality improvement was indicated in Group 1 while emotional role functioning was observed in Group 2. Significant improvements in Clinical Knee Society and Oxford Knee sc...
