Vascularized medial femoral condyle flap harvest adjacent to total knee arthroplasty: a case report

Abstract

SNAC arthritis, cases occurring on the dominant side and remaining factors of preoperative golf participation (typical score on par-72 course, rounds played and hours practiced per year) (p> 0.05). In conclusion, this study found similar return to golf results between PRC and FCA. Quite encouraging, is that a majority of patients who returned to golf felt they were performing better and no patients felt they were performing at a worse level than before surgery. However, while an approximately 80% rate of return to golf appears encouraging, it also means that up to 20% of previously avid golfers were unable to return postoperatively and therefore had worse golf participation, without major complications to explain their inability to return. Our post hoc analysis suggests that younger patients and those with established handicaps can be advised that they may have the highest likelihood of returning to golf. Surgeons can utilize this information to set appropriate patient expectations.
