Core Tip
Core tip: There is a paucity in the literature regarding the effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the treatment of post-traumatic arthritis (PTA). The goal of this systematic review is to summarize the functional outcomes, complications, and survivorship of TKA performed for the treatment of PTA. Majority of studies reported improvements in functional outcomes, increased range of motion, and decreased pain following TKA. There is a significant complication rate, including infection, stiffness, and wound complications. Revisions were performed most commonly for polyethylene wear. Although associated with higher complication rates, TKA is an effective treatment for PTA, as it improves range of motion, pain and functional outcomes.
