Abstract

Background: Total knee replacement (TKR) is indicated if initial management fails to control symptoms. Clinical and functional assessments in patients who are planned for TKR are essential in order to provide better results. The aim of this study was to assess pre-operative and post-operative clinical and functional comparisons using three assessment systems in patients who had undergone TKR. Methods: This was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach on 25 subjects with osteoarthritis who had undergone total knee replacement surgery who attended routine control at the Polyclinic from September to October 2023 at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Polyclinic at Siti Khodijah Hospital, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Results: This study showed that postoperative clinical and functional results provided good results. The results of the three scoring systems showed postoperative clinical and functional improvement evaluated by KOOS-JR (-11,720 ± 7,357), KOS-ADLS (16,840 ± 10,371), with the most significant improvement assessed by the OKS scoring system (18,520 ± 9,175). The patient’s clinical and functional outcomes are better after TKR surgery based on three scoring systems, namely OKS, KOOS-JR, and KOS-ADLS. Conclusion: In this study, treatment with TKR provides better clinical outcomes and functional improvements such as the disappearance of pain, being ability to walk long distances, full knee extension, and gradual knee flexion as seen from the improvements in clinical scores and postoperative knee functional scores using the OKS, KOOS-JR, and KOS-ADLS scoring systems. The assessment system that provides the greatest improvement is the OKS assessment system.
