Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability worldwide.
To evaluate the effects of Total Knee Arthroplasty of subjects with knee osteoarthritis by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC ).
Prospective, non-randomized study with convenience sampling. We included subjects with knee osteoarthritis with indication for surgical treatment. We used WOMAC to evaluate the level of pain, joint stiffness, physical activity, and quality of life in the preoperative and postoperative phase six months after unilateral surgery. We compared WOMAC to the factors age, gender, Body Mass Index and the type of angular deformity of the knee.
In total, we analyzed 58 patients with significant improvements in pain relief, joint stiffness, level of physical activity, and quality of life six months after total knee arthroplasty according to WOMAC.
Total knee arthroplasty showed positive effects on the quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
骨关节炎是全球残疾的主要原因。
通过西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数（WOMAC）评估全膝关节置换术对膝骨关节炎患者的影响。
采用方便抽样的前瞻性、非随机研究。我们纳入了有手术治疗指征的膝骨关节炎患者。我们使用WOMAC评估单侧手术后六个月的术前和术后疼痛程度、关节僵硬程度、身体活动情况和生活质量。我们将WOMAC与年龄、性别、体重指数和膝关节角畸形类型等因素进行比较。
根据WOMAC，我们总共分析了58例患者，全膝关节置换术后六个月疼痛缓解、关节僵硬、身体活动水平和生活质量有显著改善。
全膝关节置换术对膝骨关节炎患者的生活质量有积极影响。
