不同程度屈膝挛缩畸形人工全膝关节置换的早期疗效比较

目的探讨不同程度屈膝挛缩畸形行人工全膝关节置换术(totalkneearthroplasty,TKA)后的早期疗效。方法回顾性分析2000年1月～2003年12月行TKA的65例97膝屈膝挛缩畸形患者资料。其中骨关节炎51例74膝,类风湿关节炎14例23膝。单膝置换33例33膝,双膝同时置换32例64膝。按屈膝挛缩畸形程度不同将患者分成A、B两组,A组屈曲挛缩<20°(0～15°)32例49膝,B组屈曲挛缩≥20°(20～60°)33例48膝。A、B两组膝关节术前屈曲挛缩度数、活动度(rangeofmotion,ROM)、KSS(kneesocietyscore)评分及功能评分分别为10.7±8.0°、104.6±20.0°、29.1±18.0、32.6±20.7和28.2±7.8°、60.8±26.6°、12.1±13.2、26.8±18.1,各指标组间比较差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。术中均采用Scorpio后稳定型骨水泥固定假体,行初期置换。术后3～4d在同一康复师指导下行CPM及主动功能锻炼。结果患者获随访8个月～3年6个月,平均2年7个月。A、B组术后膝关节屈曲挛缩度数、ROM、KSS评分和功能评分分别为0.4±2.1°、108.6±19.0°、82.1±13.8、72.3±29.1和1.3±3.2°、98.6±16.4°、75.9±8.2、81.4±26.9,组间比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后患者总满意度为94.6%,无深部感染及再翻修者。结论膝关节屈膝挛缩畸形严重与否对TKA的早期疗效无明显影响;TKA后ROM有“趋中”现象;术后早期行膝关节功能锻炼也是获得功能改善的重要环节之一。

EARLY CLINICAL OUTCOME OF TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY FOR FLEXION-CONTRACTURE DEFORMITY KNEES OF DIFFERENT DEGREES

OBJECTIVE: To make a retrospective analysis on an early clinical outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the knees with different degrees of flexion-contracture deformities. METHODS: Ninety-seven knees of 65 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with the Scorpio posterior-stabilized knee prosthesis from January 2000 to December 2003 were reviewed, including 51 osteoarthritis patients (74 knees) and 14 rheumatoid arthritis patients (23 knees). Thirty-three patients underwent unilateral TKA, and 32 patients underwent bilateral TKA. The average range of motion (ROM) before operation was 82.8 degrees (range, 5-140 degrees). According to the preoperative flexion-contracture degrees of the knees, these patients were divided into 2 groups, group A and group B. Group A consisted of the patients with flexion-contracture less than 20 degrees (range, 0-15 degrees), and group B consisted of the patients with flexion-contracture not less than 20 degrees (range, 20-60 degrees). In group A, the average flexion-contracture degree, ROM, KSS (knee society score), and function score were 10.7 +/- 8.0 degrees, 104.6 +/- 20.0 degrees, 29.1 +/- 18.0, and 32.6 +/- 20.7, respectively. But the corresponding data were much worse in group B than in group A, which were 28.2 +/- 7.8 degrees, 60.8 +/- 26.6 degrees, 12.1 +/- 13.2, and 26.8 +/- 18.1. All the operations were primary total knee arthroplasty, and they were performed by the same group of surgeons. The time for the prosthesis installed lasted for 25.6 minutes, and the average tourniquet time was 34.7 minutes. Three or four days after operation, the patients began the continuous passive motion (CPM) and active functional exercise of the knee. RESULTS: The patients were followed up for an average of 2 years and 7 months(range, 8 mon-3.5 yr). During the follow-up period, the average flexion-contracture degree, ROM, KSS, and function score in group A were 0.4 +/- 2.1 degrees, 108.6 +/- 19.0 degrees, 82.1 +/- 13.8, and 72.3 +/- 29.1, respectively; and the corresponding data in group B were 1.3 +/- 3.2 degrees, 98.6 +/- 16.40, 75.9 +/- 8.2, and 81.4 +/- 26.9, respectively. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups. No revision or deep infection was found. CONCLUSION: The curative effect is mainly determined by the surgeon's good operational skills, rich clinical experience, and familiarity with the prosthesis, and it is not influenced by severity of the knee flexion-contracture deformity. The knee ROM after TKA, which has a "toward middle ROM" phenomenon, is influenced by many clinical factors. It is very important for the patient to perform a functional exercise of the knee as early as possible after operation.
