Effects of total knee arthroplasty on balance and fall risk in elderly patients with severe gonarthrosis: An age- and sex-matched comparative study

Conclusion: The results of this study showed that total knee arthroplasty provided statistically significant improvement in the clinical, radiological, and fall risk results of the patients. Although there was a decrease in the frequency of falls compared to the control group, it was statistically insignificant. In addition, in our study, it was evaluated that the most important risk factor for falling was advanced age.
