Introduction: Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is effective for managing severe knee
involvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. This study evaluates the
clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes of TKA in RA patients.
Material and
Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted on 50 RA
patients undergoing TKA at Mamata Medical College. Outcomes were assessed at
baseline, discharge, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively using VAS
for pain, KSS for knee function, WOMAC, SF-36, radiographic evaluations,
patient satisfaction, and activity levels.
Results: VAS scores improved from 8.4 to 1.1, and KSS scores increased from
51.2 to 83.1 (both p < 0.001). WOMAC and SF-36 scores showed significant
functional and quality of life improvements. Radiographic outcomes indicated
stable implants with no major complications. Patient satisfaction and activity
levels rose significantly.
