Abstract:Objective To investigate and study the mid-term effects of total knee arthroplasty in patients with different Krackow classification knee varus.Methods Eighty patients with knee varus deformity admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to June 2016 were selected as subjects. According to the modified Krackow classification, 98 cases of knee varus were divided into 34 cases (40 knees) of type I, 26 cases (36 knees) of type II, and 20 cases (22 knees) of type III. All patients underwent total knee arthroplasty. The varus angles, knee mobility and HSS scores before and after surgery were compared between different Krackow patients. At the same time, the complications of patients in each group were followed up for 24 months..Results The results of this study showed that the varus angle and HSS scores of patients with type I, type II, and type III before surgery were statistically different (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in knee joint mobility (P > 0.05). The varus angle, HSS score, and knee joint activity of patients with different classifications after operation were significantly improved compared with preoperative (P < 0.05). The type of varus angle, HSS score, and knee joint activity of type I patients were higher than those of type II and type III patients. The above indexes of type II patients were higher than those of type III patients, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no serious complications in the three groups of patients with different types of classification. Only one of the patients with type II and type III had infection after TKA, and the other patients had no serious complications such as thrombosis and joint blood. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the three groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Total knee arthroplasty has good effects in the treatment of knee varus deformities with different Krackow classifications, which can significantly improve knee joint mobility, varus angle, and HSS score. However, there is a negative correlation between the degree of improvement in prognosis and the degree of preoperative varus and typing. Surgical intervention should be performed as soon as possible.
