This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in treating primary and secondary osteonecrosis.
Long-term follow-up of patients undergoing TKA for osteonecrosis
Comparison between outcomes for primary and secondary osteonecrosis cases
TKAs are highly durable and reliable for primary osteonecrosis over the long term
Higher risk of reoperation noted for TKAs in secondary osteonecrosis cases
Resumen
TKA is a durable and reliable option for primary osteonecrosis at long-term follow-up. However, TKAs performed for secondary osteonecrosis carry a higher reoperation risk.
