Resumen
ALBUQUERQUE, Rodrigo Sattamini Pires e et al. Evaluation of Immediate Versus Late Post-Operative Radiography Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.3, pp.11-14. Epub 29-Dic-2023. ISSN 2183-1351. https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.30099.
Objective:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the radiographic alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between the immediate versus the late postoperative period.
Method:
The study was retrospective and observational. The study population consisted of 200 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Results:
Only the lateral view showed statistical significance between the differences in measurements on the immediate postoperative radiographs of TKA and 3 months after the operation.
Conclusion:
Our study showed variation between the immediate postoperative radiograph of total knee arthroplasty and the control radiography 3 months after the operation only in the lateral view. Therefore, we can infer that immediate postoperative radiograph of total knee arthroplasty might be a suitable exam for postoperative analysis.
