This is a retrospective study of 64 total knee arthroplasties for inflammatory rheumatism, implanted in the Traumatology and Orthopedic Surgery Department (A) of the HASSAN II University Hospital in Fez Morocco, from February 2008 to December 2022.
The aim of our work is to demonstrate the value of total knee arthroplasty in improving the quality of life of young patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, notably through pain relief and improved joint mobility.
Our series included 44 patients, representing 64 arthroplasties.
The mean age at the time of surgery was 48 years. All our patients were followed up at the consultation with a clinical and radiological examination. The IKS score was used to assess knee condition before and after surgery.
The surgical procedure consisted of total knee arthroplasty using a total knee arthroplasty.
Clinical results after a mean follow-up of 60 months were satisfactory, with a marked improvement in the postoperative IKS score.
