Article Synopsis
- * A study of eight patients who underwent TKA revealed that fatty infiltration in key muscle groups is associated with increased stress on the knee joint, particularly during activities like walking and stair climbing.
- * The research highlights that while there was a notable reduction in muscle fatty infiltration post-surgery, more comprehensive rehabilitation targeting muscle quality could enhance joint loads and long-term success of TKA, although the small sample size limits broader conclusions.
