摘要
Stiffness after a TKA can cause patient dissatisfaction and diminished function, therefore it is important to characterize predictors of ROM after TKA. Studies of AP translation in conscious individuals disagree whether AP translation affects maximum knee flexion angle after implantation of a highly congruent sphere and trough geometry PCL-substituting prosthesis in a TKA. %26lt;br%26gt;We investigated whether AP translation correlated with maximum knee flexion angle (1) in patients who were awake, and (2) who were under anesthesia (to minimize the effects of voluntary muscle contraction) in a TKA with implantation of a PCL-substituting mobile-bearing prosthesis. %26lt;br%26gt;AP translation was examined under both conditions in 34 primary TKAs. Measurements under anesthesia were performed when the patients were having anesthesia for a contralateral TKA. Awake measurements were made within 4 days of that anesthetic session in patients who had no residual sedative effects. The average postoperative interval for the index TKA flexion measurements was 23 months (range, 6-114 months). AP translation was evaluated at 75A degrees flexion using an arthrometer. %26lt;br%26gt;There was no correlation between postoperative maximum knee flexion and AP translation at 75A degrees during consciousness. There was no correlation between postoperative maximum knee flexion and AP translation under anesthesia. %26lt;br%26gt;AP translation at 75A degrees flexion did not correlate with postoperative maximum knee flexion in either awake or anesthetized patients during a TKA with implantation of a posterior cruciate-substituting prosthesis. %26lt;br%26gt;Level II, therapeutic study.
