Article Synopsis
- Up to 20% of patients have dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and this study examines how chronic sleep disorders (SDs) affect outcomes.
- A retrospective analysis of 172 patients (43 with SDs and 129 without) was conducted using data from 2018-2022, focusing on their Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) over time.
- Results showed that while preoperative KOOS scores were similar, those with SDs experienced significantly greater improvements in KOOS scores one year post-surgery, suggesting that chronic sleep disorders may lead to better reported outcomes after TKA.
Background: Regaining preinjury levels of activity and progressing rehabilitation factors after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have shown mixed results.
Purpose: To evaluate the timing and rate of return for knee range of motion (ROM), stability, strength, and subjective scores after ACL reconstruction with contralateral patellar tendon graft (PTG).
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
The number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgeries is expected to soar, and an effective nonoperative rehabilitation program is needed. We began treating patients with knee osteoarthritis with a range-of-motion (ROM) -based rehabilitation program that was delivered systematically, starting with ROM exercises for knee extension, followed by exercises for flexion and swelling reduction, before starting a strengthening program. In a group of 396 patients, significant improvements were made in knee extension, flexion, and KOOS subjective scores for pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sport, and quality of life.
