The functional outcome of subvastus approach versus the medial parapatellar approach for total knee replacement in KAMC osteoarthritis knee patients: A prospective cohort study
Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis affects all patients of age more than 50 years, requiring total knee replacement. There are two major approaches to total knee replacement- sub-vastus approach and medial parapatellar approach. There is no common consensus on superiority of sub-vastus approach. So, we undertook the present study to evaluate the functional outcome of total knee replacement via sub-vastus approach and medial parapatellar approach in terms of knee Oxford and WAMAC functional scores as patient reported outcome in 3 , 6,12 Month post-operative period.
Methods: The present retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, Unique Tertiary Speciality Hospital, Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for a period from January 2019-May 2022 with sample size of 100 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. All the patients had undergone total knee replacement via sub-vastus approach 39 and Medial parapatellar approach 61 patient. The functional Outcome results was compared for significance of deference in patient reported outcome score.
Results: The mean Oxford and WAMAC scores showed a statistically significant improvement over a period of 3,6,12 months (p<0.05), for medial parapatellar in compare to sub-vastus approach on comparison the mean rank score for both Oxford and WAMAC scores.
Conclusions: On comparing the results of medial parapatellar approach with sub-vastus approach the available data from patient reported outcome scores we found a significant improvement in functional outcome with sub-vastus approach in compare with medial parapatellar approach with very few complications in both approaches.
Keywords: Osteoarthritis, Total knee arthroplasty, Sub-vastus approach, medial parapatellar approach, Oxford and WAMAC Knee scores.
