Abstract:   (61 Views)
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the lower extremities is a successful surgical procedure for end-stage degeneration and is increasingly gaining popularity around the world. Preexisting neurological conditions have been a significant challenge to arthroplasty surgeons for a long time, and surgeons used to avoid performing TJA on these patients. As an age-related neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease (PD) is prevalent and linked with a higher likelihood of gait imbalance and falling, as well as osteoarthritis (OA). The number of PD patients experiencing hip and knee OA is rising. As a result, some of these individuals may need to undergo total hip or knee arthroplasty surgeries (THA/TKA) to alleviate symptoms and improve their function. Patients with PD present a remarkable set of challenges for surgeons because of increased muscle tone, higher fracture risk, and ligament instability. There is currently limited information available regarding the outcome and effectiveness of these procedures on patients with PD. The lack of data is a cause for concern, as it prevents surgeons from making informed decisions about the use of TJA in this patient population. This study aims to summarize the recent literature regarding THA and TKA procedures in patients with PD to help surgeons in this challenging setting and improve their knowledge of potential complications and outcomes in this complex background.
