ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) in obese patients.METHODS:
We examined the records of 371 cases of MIS-TKA performed using the mini-midvastus approach from January 2006 to December 2006. According to body mass index (BMI), the cases were classified into group A (BMI 0.05). There was no difference in terms of the accuracy of the tibial implant alignment, with 97.6%, 95.2%, and 93.4% of each group showing 90°± 3° varus angulation (p > 0.05). With respect to the accuracy of the femorotibial angle, 93.9%, 94.6%, and 90.2% of each group had 6°± 3° valgus angulation, with group C demonstrating the lowest level of accuracy (p 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
MIS-TKA in obese patients showed satisfactory clinical and radiological results without significant difference in surgical results compared to nonobese patients.
