    Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is effective for osteoarthritis but poses challenges in patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) from previous fractures.

  • 2

    PTOA affects 20-50% of individuals with prior knee trauma, contributing to a significant portion of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis cases.

  • 3

    This systematic review compares TKA outcomes in PTOA patients post-fracture treatment with those undergoing TKA for primary osteoarthritis.

  • 4

    The review aims to assess patient-reported outcomes and complication rates, hypothesizing that PTOA leads to inferior results after TKA.

  • 5

    Methodological quality of included studies was moderate, with most rated using the CASP checklist, ensuring robust data for analysis.
