Abstract :

 INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis is thought to be the most prevalent chronic joint disease. The incidence of arthritis is increasing because of ageing population and rise of obesity. Total knee arthroplasty is now the reliable technique for severe arthritis. Many designs are available with different type of prosthesis it is important to study the outcome of prosthetic replacement. Different types of scoring system are used to assess the functional outcome. Of this the most important is the knee society scoring system. This is prospective study done in patients with advanced osteoarthritis knee who were done Total Knee Arthroplasty in Department of Orthopedics, Government Medical College Thrissur

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: 1, To study the Functional Outcome of Advanced Osteoarthritis Knee Treated with Total Knee Arthroplasty.2, To compare the knee society knee score preoperatively and postoperatively

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: All the patients were treated with posterior cruciate substituting type of total knee arthroplasty. At 6 months follow up knee clinical score improved from an average of 27 to 87.90showing an excellent outcome and knee functional score improved from an average of 40 to 81.05 showing an excellent outcome and patients were able to have pain free mobile joint. All the parameters measured and results obtained were comparable with literature and the results were showing an excellent outcome
