Abstract

BackgroundTotal Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is being performed with increasing frecuency in young patients. The published data on the clinical scores and long-term durabilyty for TKA for these patients are limited and most include patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) The porpouse of this study were to analyze a group of TKAs in patients 55 years old or younger, excluding patients with RA, assessing the prosthetic survival, radiographic failures and functional outcomes.Methods53 TKA were retrospectively analyzed in 46 patients, with an average age of 49 (26-54) years and mean follow up of 6.5 (2-15) years. The preoperative diagnoses accounted for 46 idiopathic knee osteoathritis, 5 posttraumatic arthritis and 2 osteonecrosis. 22 had a history of previous surgeries. The clinical and functional outcomes were observed using Knee Society Score and WOMAC, whereas radiological assessment system of the Knee Society was used.Resultsclinical and functional KSS score improved from 49.3 to 92.6 and from 46.8 to 91.4 points postoperatively on average respectly. The average WOMAC score was 2.3 for pain, 2.6 for stiffness and 27.3 for functional capacity. 16% showed radiolucent lines <1mm who did not progress over time. They were 3 infections requiring two stages revision evolving favorably and 4 stiffness that were manipulated under anesthesia or arthroscopy. The prosthetic survival rate was 94.34%.ConclusionTKA in patients 55 years or younger provides functional improvements, with an acceptable prosthetic survival considering previous surgical history. We not observed radiological failures at end follow-up.Key words: Level of Evidence: IV therapeutic study.
