Total knee arthroplasty exhibits satisfactory long-term clinical efficacy in the treatment of hemophilia patients with stiff knees

This study aimed to (1) determine the long-term clinical efficacy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of hemophilia patients with stiff knessknees, (2) assess the 5- and 10-year prosthesis survival in hemophilia, and (3) determine whether the severity of preoperative stiffness would af...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to (1) determine the long-term clinical efficacy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of hemophilia patients with stiff knessknees, (2) assess the 5- and 10-year prosthesis survival in hemophilia, and (3) determine whether the severity of preoperative stiffness would affect postoperative clinical outcomes and complication rates. The clinical data of 71 patients (78 knees) with hemophilia and concomitant knee stiffness who had undergone TKA between September 2007 and June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were male, their mean age at the time of surgery was 38.4. ± 7.9 years (range: 21-63 years), and the mean follow-up time was 8.7 years. To determine the effect of stiffness severity on clinical outcomes, the participants were categorized into two groups: severe [preoperative range of motion (ROM):
