Physical Performance and Patient-Reported Outcomes Remain Stable at 5 Years After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate changes in physical performance tests (PPTs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at baseline, 1 year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and a minimum of 5 years after TKA.

Methods

We enrolled patients who underwent TKA between 2013 and 2015 performed by a single arthroplasty surgeon at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. We evaluated PPTs and PROMs over a minimum 5-year follow-up period to assess changes over time, identified independent factors associated with PPT deterioration, and determined TKA survivorship.

Results

The study included 126 participants with a mean age of 77.8 years. The average follow-up time was 7.4 ± 2.3 years. PPTs and PROMs changed significantly over time from baseline. However, the 2-minute
