INTRODUCTION The effect of primary total knee replacement on the employment status of 56 patients under 60 years of age was examined at a mean follow-up of 64 months. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 56 primary total knee replacements performed on patients under the age of 60 years by two surgeons between 1996 and 2003 were retrospectively assessed by postal questionnaire. Patients were selected from databases held at Holly House and Newham Hospital NHS Trust. RESULTS Overall, 97.5% of patients who were employed before their operation, returned to their previous work. However, in patients not working prior to total knee replacement none were employed after their operation. CONCLUSIONS Total knee replacement may be a valuable tool to help some patients to continue working but may not affect patients who are already unemployed.

INTRODUCTION Early post-operative x-rays are often taken in total knee replacements (TKRs). Patient mobilisation may be delayed until these x-rays are obtained and this may prolong discharge. The aim of this study was to assess the value of such early x-rays and whether they influenced the early post-operative management of these patients. METHODS A total of 624 consecutive TKRs performed at the Blackpool Victoria Hospital over a 34-month period were evaluated. Plain anteroposterior and lateral x-rays were examined. RESULTS Two patients were found to have significant abnormalities: an undisplaced peri prosthetic tibial fracture and a partial inferior pole patellar avulsion. Neither of these required further treatment or influenced mobility. No other complications were noted that changed routine post-operative management. CONCLUSIONS These results question the need for immediate x-rays in primary TKRs.

Abstract Total knee replacement has become an accepted treatment for diseased and damaged joints with over 150,000 surgeries performed annually in the United States alone. The popularity of knee replacement stems from the excellent clinical results, which in some reported series exceeded ninety percent at twenty years follow-up [1]. The high level of clinical success in elderly populations has spurred surgeons to extend the indications to younger patients; today, about a third of total knee replacements are implanted in individuals under sixty-five years of age.
