The focus of this study was to evaluate the functional result and to specifically ascertain whether the absence of the ability to squat and sit cross-legged altered the patient's satisfaction level after a successful standard total knee replacement. Squatting and sitting cross-legged are common practices in Asia. These activities are not possible following standard total knee replacement. Patients were followed-up for a minimum of 12 months post surgery. Their level of satisfaction was assessed using a Likert scale. The Knee Society Score (KSS) was used to assess range of motion and function of the knee. Twenty-one out of 25 patients were satisfied with the surgical result in spite of an inability to squat. Deep knee flexion may not be an essential prerequisite for patient satisfaction after total knee replacement, even in a population where squatting and sitting cross-legged are part of the normal lifestyle.
本研究的重点是评估功能结果，并具体确定无法深蹲和盘腿坐是否会改变患者在成功进行标准全膝关节置换术后的满意度。深蹲和盘腿坐是亚洲的常见行为。在标准全膝关节置换术后，这些活动是无法进行的。患者在术后至少随访12个月。使用李克特量表评估他们的满意度。膝关节协会评分（KSS）用于评估膝关节的活动范围和功能。尽管无法深蹲，但25名患者中有21名对手术结果感到满意。即使在深蹲和盘腿坐是正常生活方式一部分的人群中，深度屈膝可能也不是全膝关节置换术后患者满意度的必要先决条件。
