Quasi-experimental study shows significant pain reduction and functional improvement in elderly patients after total knee arthroplasty, indicating its effectiveness.
Key Points
Significant reduction in pain was noted, with mean VAS scores dropping from 8.40 to 3.05 at 6 months postoperatively.
Knee function improved markedly, with KSS scores increasing from 36.13 preoperatively to 75.75 at 6 months.
Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, indicating sustained benefits over time.
The findings support total knee arthroplasty as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis, suggesting improved quality of life for the elderly.
