Surgical practices in total knee arthroplasty in Turkey

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the current practices in the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the differences of practice among the orthopedic surgeons in Turkey.
Methods: Data in this cross-sectional and descriptive study was collected through a questionnaire from 76 orthopaedic surgeons performing TKA. The questionnaire form contained 57 questions under four main headings, covering the professional properties of the surgeon, pre-surgery approach, surgical technique applied for TKA and the surgical details peculiar to the technique with solutions applied for complication scenarios, and finally the postoperative approach.
Results: It was determined that 39.7% of the TKA applications were performed in operating theatres without laminar airflow or HEPA filters. Nearly 1/5 of the surgeons used more than one antibiotic for prophylaxis, and more than 85% continued prophylaxis use over 3 days. Low-molecular-weight heparin was the most commonly used method for thromboprophylaxis. 94.67% of the surgeons used only the cemented technique in primary TKA. 44% indicated that they performed simultaneous bilateral arthroplasty, 89% did not use any scoring system and 72.37% preferred fixed-bearing and posterior-cruciateretaining type prosthesis.
Conclusion: Results showed no standardization in TKA surgery among surgeons in Turkey, and important educational deficiencies were noted.
