Abstract
It is of interest if preoperative activity level has an impact on postoperative activity level following cementless TKA. This review contained 127 patients who had a preoperative Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS) score ≥ to 10 (active patients) and 121 patients <10 (inactive patients). Postoperatively, the results showed a difference in LEAS Activity (Active 10.5 vs. Inactive 8.7, p < 0.001). Active patients had a drop in their activity level by 1.2 on the LEAS score, yet inactive patients increased by 1.6 (p < 0.0001). Preoperative activity levels are a good indicator for postoperative activity in cementless TKA.
