Detailed description

The knee joint is one of the largest joints in the body and is responsible for maintaining mobilization. This joint is treated with surgery in cases where medical treatment and physiotherapy are ineffective and pain and loss of function increase. For this reason, degenerative diseases of the knee joint are mostly treated with Total Knee Prosthesis (TKA) surgery. TKA is a surgical intervention that reconstructs the joint in patients with knee osteoarthritis, in order to reduce pain and regain lost functions in cases where there is no response to conservative treatment. TKA is applied to patients whose daily activities are restricted due to pain, limitation of movement, deformity and instability and who cannot achieve the expected improvement with conservative treatment methods (2-4). However, after TKA, life-threatening physical and functional problems and complications that reduce the quality of life and such as pain, infection, pretibial edema, deterioration in bowel functions, pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and prosthesis dislocation may develop. Early diagnosis and treatment of physical and psychological problems that may occur in these patients, and provision of qualified training that supports patients; self-care competence and functions will accelerate the recovery process and increase the quality of life and patient satisfaction.
