Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the influence of routine lateral release to the clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing.Methods The study involved all patients divided into two groups using a randomised group method.During total knee arthroplasty(TKA),forty-three patients were treated with lateral release in the treatment group,while Forty-two patients in the control group were not treated with lateral release.Both groups were assessed for anterior knee pain,patient satisfaction,Knee Surgery Society(KSS)score,KSS function score,patella score,and incidence of postoperative complications.Results After 24 months of follow-up,the treatment group was found to have a lower incidence of anterior knee pain compared to the control group(P<0.05),and there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative satisfaction,complication rate,KSS knee score,KSS function score,and patella score between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The study suggests that routine lateral release can reduce anterior knee pain and does not increase the risk of postoperative complications after total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing.
