摘　　要：To the Editor:Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by synovial hyperplasia and joint destruction.The knee is the most commonly affected joint in patients with RA,and approximately 25%of patients with RA will undergo joint replacement within 22 years.[1]Total-knee arthroplasty(TKA)is a successful treatment for patients with severe joint pain due to osteoarthritis or RA.Concerns regarding increased loosening rates and potential need for multiple revision surgeries have traditionally discouraged the use of TKA in patients under 60 years old.121 Although results in young patients are encouraging,131 little mid-term follow-up data are available.Other researchers focus on the controversial subject of resurfacing in TKA.
