Abstract
Background:Indian population is mainly residing in two areas- urban and rural. The literature has shown consistent results following knee joint replacement surgeries, however these studies have been done in highly efficient and equipped hospitals in urban areas. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare outcome at a rural set-up with those at a high-end teaching or corporate hospital in urban set-up from published literature. Materials and Methods: This study was an observational and retrospective analysis. Observation data was collected from January, 2020 and April, 2021. This study included follow-up of 60 total knee joint replacements. Results: In our study of total knee joint replacement surgeries in rural teaching set- up, we achieved 95.39% results (excellent) while the remaining 4.61% results were good. Conclusion: This study confirmed that results of total knee replacement are comparable to any other highly well equipped urban center, if all basic surgical principles including aseptic precautions are stringently followed-up. Further the clinical outcomes in our cases was more surgeon dependent rather than technology dependent as all surgeries were performed by one single surgeon.
