Introduction: Total knee replacement (TKR) is commonly carried out in patients with advanced osteoarthritis to reduce pain and increase. The study aimed to investigate functional outcomes after Total Knee Replacement (TKR) among orthopedic patients at Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ogun, South West, Nigeria. Methods: Registry data of patients who underwent TKR between January 1st, 2021 to December 30th, 2021 were collected and retrospectively reviewed. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data together with the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) were collated both preoperatively and postoperatively (12 weeks after surgery). Results: There was significant increase in the OKS postoperatively, which was statistically significant. There was significant difference between pre-operative OKS and post-operative OKS (p=0.0049). Conclusion: Overall, there was clinically significant change in the OKS after surgery. This implies greater reduction in pain and increase functional outcomes.
