Abstract

This study retrospectively analyzed 240 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) three years prior to assess the impact of osteotomy at various posterior slope angles on knee joint function recovery. Patients were categorized into five groups based on changes in posterior slope angle. Postoperative knee function was evaluated using KSS, WOMAC, and VAS scores. Results showed statistically significant differences in pain and function scores across groups, with Group 2 (3°-5° change) exhibiting the best outcomes. Excessive increases or decreases in posterior slope angle negatively impacted postoperative recovery. No major complications were observed.
