Abstract
Abstract: Total knee arthroplasty or total
knee replacement is a surgical procedure that aims to eliminate pain, restore
joint mobility, as well as muscle, ligament and other soft tissues that control
it.
Objective: to determine the usual size of the total knee prosthesis
components at the Eugenio Espejo Specialty Hospital in the established period
of time.
Materials and methods: A
retrospective study was carried out in which patients undergoing total knee
arthroplasty performed at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of the
Eugenio Espejo Hospital in the city of Quito were included. Measurements of
different sizes of prostheses were taken from the suppliers available in the
market.
Results: The highest percentage
of patients underwent surgery was female. The most used size in the femoral
component was 58mm, while in the tibial component it was 42mm.
Conclusion: The usual size in
patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty was 58mm in the femoral component
and 42mm in the tibial component.
