Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Osteoarthritis of knee, unspecified,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2018/12/016716
• Lead Sponsor: Government Medical College And Hospital

Brief Summary

TKA is a highly efficacious and cost-effective procedure for moderate to severe knee OA. The benefits include improvement in quality of life for individuals. The patient characteristics are considered to be important determinants of who receives TKA.

Lee et al found significant decrease in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and improvement in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score at six month follow up of TKA patients, but did not report any association of gender and stature during TKA surgery follow up.

So far no study has evaluated both immediate postoperative pain relief and its effect on KOOS score at six months as compared to baseline in short stature women versus normal stature women following TKA surgery. So, the present study will evaluate pain relief in postoperative period and baseline versus postoperative KOOS at six months in short versus normal stature in patients undergoing TKA surgery.
