Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly effective surgical intervention for end-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA). While recognized for its efficacy in pain relief, achieving optimal functional outcomes necessitates comprehensive management. This study evaluates the clinical and functional outcomes of TKA performed at Ibn Sina teaching hospital over 18 months 18 months (January 2024 to June 2025). A combined prospective and retrospective observational study was conducted on 100 patients with primary or secondary osteoarthritis who underwent TKA. Outcomes were assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) Grading and Range of motion (ROM) measurements. The mean age of the cohort was 67.06 years, with a pronounced female predominance (82%). KSS grading demonstrated an outstanding success rate: 100% of patients achieved an outcome categorized as good or better (62% excellent, 25% very good, and 13% good). The mean ROM improved from 76.6∘ pre-operatively to 80.2∘ post-operatively. The TKA program at Ibn Sina teaching hospital achieves clinical and functional outcomes that meet or exceed international success Benchmarks, reinforcing the procedure's role as a highly effective treatment for advanced knee OA.
