Abstract

BACKGROUND Factors associated with falls after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have been rarely reported. The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence the incidence of falls after TKA, focusing on toe grip strength (TGS) in particular, which has been associated with falls in older adults. METHODS 217 patients who underwent TKA were included and followed up for 1 year. Main study outcome measures were the presence or absence of falls within 1 year after TKA. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used with postoperative falls as the dependent variable and preoperative falls and postoperative TGS on the affected sides as independent variables. RESULTS 170 (43 and 127 in the fall and non-fall groups) patients were included in the analysis. The presence of a preoperative falls history before TKA and a weak postoperative affected TGS indicated an increased susceptibility of the patient to fall postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Results of the current study revealed the association between postoperative TGS and postoperative falls. We highlight the importance of preoperative fall monitoring and postoperative TGS evaluation to prevent falls after TKA.

全膝关节置换术后患者术后跌倒史与脚趾握力之间的关系：前瞻性观察研究

背景与全膝关节置换术（TKA）后跌倒相关的因素鲜有报道。本研究旨在确定影响 TKA 术后跌倒发生率的因素，尤其关注与老年人跌倒有关的脚趾握力 (TGS)。研究的主要结果指标是 TKA 术后 1 年内有无跌倒。以术后跌倒为因变量，术前跌倒和术后患侧 TGS 为自变量，采用多元逻辑回归分析。TKA术前有跌倒史和术后患侧TGS较弱表明患者术后更容易跌倒。我们强调了术前跌倒监测和术后 TGS 评估对预防 TKA 术后跌倒的重要性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, the official journal of the Australian Podiatry Association and The College of Podiatry (UK), is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of policy, organisation, delivery and clinical practice related to the assessment, diagnosis, prevention and management of foot and ankle disorders. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research covers a wide range of clinical subject areas, including diabetology, paediatrics, sports medicine, gerontology and geriatrics, foot surgery, physical therapy, dermatology, wound management, radiology, biomechanics and bioengineering, orthotics and prosthetics, as well the broad areas of epidemiology, policy, organisation and delivery of services related to foot and ankle care. The journal encourages submissions from all health professionals who manage lower limb conditions, including podiatrists, nurses, physical therapists and physiotherapists, orthopaedists, manual therapists, medical specialists and general medical practitioners, as well as health service researchers concerned with foot and ankle care. The Australian Podiatry Association and the College of Podiatry (UK) have reserve funds to cover the article-processing charge for manuscripts submitted by its members.
