BACKGROUND:Deluxe-PS knee prosthesis is designed based on the anatomical characteristics of the Chinese peoples’ knee joint, especial y the morphological features of femoral condyle. The distance between median and lateral knee prosthesis femoral condyle is less than that of the imported prosthesis for 3.5 mm.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the short-term efficacy of Deluxe-ps knee prosthesis in simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:Fifteen knee osteoarthritis patients (30 knees) were included as the experimental group, and treated with simultaneous bilateral knee arthroplasty by Deluxe-ps knee prosthesis. Twenty patients (40 knees) in the control group were treated with simultaneous bilateral knee arthroplasty by PFCSigma knee prosthesis. The knee society score, hospital for special surgery knee score and knee joint range of motion were compared between two groups;the operation time and the intraoperative blood loss were compared between two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients in both groups were fol owed-up for 12 to 24 months, with an average of 16 months. Postoperative knee pain was relieved, and the joint function was recovered satisfactorily. The knee society score, hospital for special surgery knee score and knee joint range of motion in two groups were improved significantly after treatment (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in postoperative knee society score, hospital for special surgery knee score and knee joint range of motion between two groups (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between two groups (P>0.05), while there was significant difference in operation time between two groups (P<0.05). The results showed that the short-term effect of Deluxe-ps knee prosthesis in simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty was satisfied.
