An interventional study of Quadriceps incision < 2 cm and Quadriceps incision 2-4 cm in Osteoarthritis of Knee, sponsored by Mahidol University. Completed. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2011-10-12.
Sponsored by Mahidol University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) became the popular technique. It had the less postoperative pain and shorter recovery time compared to the conventional technique. With using MIS technique, less cut of quadriceps tendon was the key. It related to keep more quadriceps strength and improve functional performance after TKA. However, there was no previous studies about the effect of quadriceps incision length in the recovery time of the quadriceps strength. The investigators hypothesized that longer quadriceps incision affected the longer recovery time of quadriceps strength in MIS-TKA.
