Özet

Total knee arthroplasty was applied to 187 knees of 144 patients at Ondokuz Mayis University School of Medicine and Research Hospital, Clinic of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, between January 2007 and December 2008. Included in this study were 53 knees of 40 patients with adequate follow-up. The mean age was 61.82, (34-91), and the mean follow-up period was 43.95 months. Assessments made based on the knee-scoring system yielded a mean score of 88.09 (75-100). In 39 patients (73.58%), the results obtained were excellent, and in 14 (26.41%) patients, the results were good. The average knee-function score was determined to be 74.62. Assessments made based on the functional knee-scoring system indicated that 17 knees (32.08%) obtained excellent results, 16 knees (30.19%) obtained good results, nine (16.98%) knees obtained intermediate results, and 11 knees (20.75%) obtained poor results. © 2012 OMU All rights reserved.
