全膝关节置换治疗僵硬膝关节的早期疗效分析

目的 评价人工全膝关节置换治疗僵硬膝关节的疗效,探讨术中操作和术后康复的要点.方法 2005年2月至2009年4月,采用人工全膝关节置换治疗僵硬膝关节患者23例34膝,男3例4膝,女20例30膝;年龄25～73岁,平均为56.9岁.临床评价指标包括美国特种外科医院评分(hospital for special surgery knee score,HSS)及关节活动范围,并统计术后并发症.结果 平均随访时间为32.2个月(24～40个月),无失访病例.HSS评分术前平均(42.9±5.2)分(24～66分),术后1个月时平均为(72.4±7.1)分(58～82分),末次随访时平均为(85.7±4.3)分(66～94分),较术前增加42.8分.膝关节屈伸活动范围术前平均为42.6°±5.7°(25°～50°),术后1个月时平均为80.2°±9.2°(60°～105°),末次随访时平均为89.2°±40.5°(60°～110°),较术前增加46.6°.12例16膝因术后活动范围不足90°,在术后3～8周进行静脉麻醉下的手法松解.末次随访时仍有6例8膝活动范围不足90°.结论 术中大范围的软组织松解、术后充分的肌力和活动范围训练是获得良好疗效的关键,对于术后关节活动范围不足的病例应及时采取静脉麻醉下的手法按摩松解.

Primary total knee arthroplasty in treatment of stiff knees

Objective To evaluate the outcome of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in treatment of stiff knee, and discuss the key points of operative technique and rehabilitation. Methods From February 2005 to April 2009, 23 patients with 34 stiff knees were treated with primary TKA. The study included 3 males (4 knees) and 20 females (30 knees), with the mean age of 56.9 years. Primary disease of the patients included rheumatoid arthritis (26 knees in 15 cases) and osteoarthritis (8 knees in 8 cases). Varus deformity was found in 10 knees (5°-15°), and valgus was found in 5 knees (5°-10°). Evaluations included preoperative and postoperative range of motion (ROM) measurement, hospital for special surgery knee score (HSS), blood loss, operative time and assessment of postoperative complications. Results All patients were followed up. The mean follow-up time was 32.2 (range, 24 to 40) months. At the final follow-up visit, the HSS score increased from 42.9±5.2 preoperatively to 85.7±4.3, the range of motion increased from 42.6°±5.7° preoperatively to 89.2°±10.5°. Sixteen knees in 12 cases underwent manipulation at 3 to 8 weeks postoperatively for unsatisfied ROM, but ROM was still less than 90° in 8 knees at the last follow-up. The average blood loss were (632.4±180.2) ml in first 24 hours (450-850 ml) and the operative time were (98.1±18.6) min (80-150 min). Deep venous thrombosis was found in 3 patients. All the symptoms relieved after anticoagulant therapy. Postoperative varus deformity was seen in one patient, but the function of knee was good. No revision was needed. Conclusion Primary total knee arthroplasty is reliable method in treatment of stiff knees. Sufficient soft tissue release during the operation, postoperative muscle strength exercise and essential manipulation are key points for satisfactory outcomes.
