Purpose

To review the outcomes of patients undergoing manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA) after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and predict those that may require such a procedure.

Methods

We prospectively analysed all patients who required MUA post TKA performed by 2 surgeons using the same prosthesis from 2003 to 2008 and compared them to a control group of primary TKA matched for age, gender and surgeon. All patients in both groups had pre- and post-operative measurements of range of movement. In addition risk factors were identified including warfarin and statin use, diabetes and body mass index.
