Resumo:
Aim: Assess the clinical utility of plain radiography in the first postoperative outpatient visit after total knee arthroplasty. Patients and Methods: 200 patients which underwent a total knee arthroplasty from January to May 2012 were analyzed retrospectively, they had two previous control radiographs at hospital discharge and two more at 4-6 weeks after surgery, which were compared, seeking for radiographics signs that would induce a therapeutic changes in the patient’s clinical course. Results: No radiographics signs were observed in the cases studied in the first postoperative visit one month after the surgery, consequently the patient’s treatment plan had no change. Discussion: Our results support those of other authors who have recognized the benefits of reducing the number of postoperative radiographs, improve the cost effectiveness of outpatients care and avoid an extra damage to the patient’s health. We believe that repeated use of serial radiographs in outpatient is simply a custom that has become law, to calm down the patient, and his surgeon, with no scientific evidence to support it use. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the plain AP and L radiographic projection at the first visit, one month later after a TKA, does not provide any clinic information, adds substantial cost to the heath-care system and unnecessary harms the patient.
