Abstract

Osteoarthritis is mainly located in the knee area. It is an important concern related to the population health, determined by the influence on the quality of life of patients. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with uncemented fixation is among the most encountered procedures performed in patients of a younger age. The present study investigated the response of patients (quality of life, mobility and pain management) with titanium/hydroxyapatite‑coated implants with polyethylene inserts. A total of 57 patients with knee arthroplasty were studied with an average age of 54.1±4.9 years and 57.8% were females. The present study focused on the following aspects: The components of such a prosthesis and the way they contribute to a physiological fixation/recovery; how the implant surgery is performed; the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients; postoperative pain assessment in different types of movement; the management of the movement capacity 1 year after the surgery; and complications that may occur. One year after the surgery, these patients reported pain release, considerably favorable results in every‑day activities, and good mobility (capable of using the car, rising from the bed or standing). Knowledge and accurate observation of the correct steps in performing this surgery and the role of the components of the prosthesis can lead to favorable therapeutic outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
