Abstract:
Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial disease which manifests itself in a variety of clinical presentations. Two people may have the same diagnosis and radiographic classification; however, their physical exam and subjective complaints of pain, functional limitations and disability may vary significantly, making treatment both challenging and unique to each patient. [1, 2] Many patients experiencing OA will undergo a lower extremity joint arthroplasty in their lifetime, and the number of arthroplasties will further increase in the next decades because of the aging population and an associated increasing prevalence of arthritic diseases and joint degeneration. [3, 4] The issue in patients with OA is obesity which is a well recognised risk factor for osteoarthritis. The projected increase of obesity in the general population will have ramifications in OA and elective surgery such as TKA. TKA is successful for decreasing pain and increasing functional performance, but less is known about the influence of TKA on restoring overall physical activity levels. [2-4] The literature remains inconclusive as to whether obesity is an independent determinant of recovery and whether it affects changes in physical activity and quality of life after TJA. In our study we have tried to correlate the patients BMI with the outcome in terms of physical activity and Quality of life after Total Knee Replacement.
