OBJECTIVE: To discuss the surgical methods of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the @entity1 with active @entity378 of the knee and find out its curative effect after TKA. @entity1 ANDMETHODS: We analyzed 10 @entity1 with active @entity378 of the knee who received TKA in our department from March 2006 to March 2010, whose ages were from 22 to 64 years old (average age was 40.6    1 years). The following parameters were measured in the pre- and post-operation periods: HSS score, range of motion (ROM). From x-ray to find out post-operate curative effect of TKA. RESULTS: All cases had @entity158 and elevated ESR. @entity1150 ( @entity1150 ) and @entity16 were not found in these cases. There were 4 cases that had sinuses on the skin: the skin healed before the operation took place. Pre-operation HSS average scores were 25.0    2. All @entity1 received TKA by the para-patellar medial approach. Eight cases were followed-up for 6-28 months; the average follow-up period was14    0.5 months. Post-operation we took an HSS score and X-rays to find out its curative effect after TKA operation. There were also no @entity1 with dislocation   aseptic loosening or @entity174 of prosthesis, although 1 case had recurrence. Post-operation's HSS average scores were 86.75    5.45. The average ROM was improved to 95    5  . CONCLUSIONS: Recent clinical results indicate that TKA is effective to treat the @entity1 with active @entity378 of the knee joint. TKA can significantly improve the function of the joint and relieve @entity158 , improving @entity1 ' living conditions.
