Abstract
Background: Knee arthroplasty (KA) is a common surgery for elderly patients to replace damaged joint surfaces. Indicated for osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis and anatomical deformities, as well as extensive traumatic injuries, TKA can be total (TKA) or partial (TKA). The choice between TKA and PKA depends on the stage of the disease and the patient's individual needs.
Aim: Through an integrative literature review, to compare the results of TKA and PTA.
Material and Method: The database used in this research was PUBMED, using the following search strategy: (partial*[title] AND total*[title]) AND knee[title] AND (replac*[title/abstract] OR subst*[title/abstract] OR arthr*[title/abstract] OR rest*[title/abstract]), and considering a time cut-off of 5 years. Results: Initially, 16 studies were identified which met the previously established search strategy. After reading the titles and abstracts, 12 studies were excluded, 10 because they did not compare the results of TKA and PJA, and 2 because they were about the anesthetic techniques used in these procedures, leaving 4 studies for review.
Conclusion: PJA tended to offer advantages over TKA in terms of efficiency and recovery. Although TKA has a lower annual revision rate, PCA showed benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness and faster recovery, with shorter hospital stays and lower overall associated costs. PJA also offered similar or slightly better clinical results in some aspects, without compromising long-term efficacy.
