Clinical result and side effects of knee joint replacement and surgery in comparison with 48 hours interval

Knee arthroplasty is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries, and many studies have been done on Eproch and the timing of surgery, but few studies have been performed on the outcomes and complications of knee arthroplasty and its comparison 48 hours later. Therefore, we decided to conduct a study to determine the clinical outcomes and complications of two knee joint replacements and to compare them within 48 hours.

This study was a cohort study, the first group consisted of patients undergoing concurrent arthroplasty and the second group were patients undergoing 48 knee arthroplasty within 48 hours then postoperative complications, duration Time of hospitalization, clinical outcome two weeks after surgery, one month after surgery and three months after surgery were evaluated.

None of the criteria evaluated by lysholm questionnaire were significantly different in the studied patients. Postoperative complications were also evaluated in both case and control groups, with no significant difference in either group. (P> 0.05).

Overall, there was no significant difference in pain rate, knee function, and surgical complications during the study after both treatments.
