Abstract

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is now a day a common procedure done to improve quality of life in deformed or unstable and moderate to severe painful knee joints. The most important factor which determines the success of knee arthroplasty is range of motion. For knee to function normally between 83 and 105° of flexion is required [1]. A reduction in Range of motion (ROM) at the knee joint is associated with decreased mobility, compromise independence and pain [2]. Diabetes mellitus, is one of the common diseases worldwide, reported prevalence of over 180 million [3] people. Few studies showed unfavorable functional outcome in patients with diabetes than non-diabetics [4-6]. Meding et al. [4] and Robertson et al. [5] assessed the functional outcome after total knee replacement and they used the Knee Society Score (KSS) [7], the diabetic patients had worse outcome compared non-diabetic patients. Moon et al. [6] on the other hand, using the similar functional outcome tool, reported no significant difference in the outcome in diabetic as well as non-diabetic patients. However, all the above-mentioned studies are retrospective case control studies.
