To review the outcome of unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA) to determine whether unilateral TKA can achieve good health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Records of 68 women and 25 men with severe bilateral knee OA who underwent unilateral TKA on the more symptomatic knee by a single surgeon and did not return for the second TKA within 2 years were reviewed. Outcome at 6 months and 2 years was assessed using the mental and physical component summary (MCS and PCS) of the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) for HRQoL as well as the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Knee Society Score (KSS) for knee-specific outcome.
The SF-36, OKS, and KSS improved significantly after unilateral TKA. Respectively for MCS and PCS of SF-36, OKS, and KSS knee and function scores, 65%, 89%, 98%, 98%, and 98% of patients reported absolute improvement at 2 years. Respectively for PCS, OKS, and KSS function score that a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was established, 77%, 96%, and 80% of patients achieved MCID at 2 years.
Unilateral TKA achieves good outcome in HRQoL at 2 years in patients with bilateral knee OA.
回顾双侧膝关节骨关节炎(OA)患者单侧全膝关节置换术(TKA)的结果,以确定单侧TKA是否能实现良好的健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)。
回顾了68名女性和25名男性重度双侧膝关节OA患者的记录,这些患者由同一位外科医生对症状更严重的膝关节进行了单侧TKA,且在2年内未进行第二次TKA。使用简明健康状况调查量表(SF-36)的心理和生理健康总结量表(MCS和PCS)评估HRQoL,以及使用牛津膝关节评分(OKS)和膝关节协会评分(KSS)评估膝关节特定结局,分别在6个月和2年时进行评估。
单侧TKA后,SF-36、OKS和KSS均有显著改善。在SF-36的MCS和PCS、OKS以及KSS膝关节和功能评分方面,分别有65%、89%、98%、98%和98%的患者在2年时报告有绝对改善。在已确定最小临床重要差异(MCID)的PCS、OKS和KSS功能评分方面,分别有77%、96%和80%的患者在2年时达到MCID。
对于双侧膝关节OA患者,单侧TKA在2年时可实现良好的HRQoL结局。
