Abstract
Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the increasing numbers of total knee arthroplasty procedures and examine utilization in Asir province, Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty at Asir Central Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed according to demographic characteristics, including age, gender, and procedure type.

Results: We found an increase in the incidence of knee arthroplasties from 2018 to 2019 and a drastic decrease from 2019 to 2020. Most patients were women older than 65 years. The most common pre-operative diagnosis was osteoarthritis. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were the most chronic comorbid chronic illnesses reported for the patients in this study.

Conclusions: We found substantial variance in the numbers of knee arthroplasties performed during the study period. We expect an increase in the number of knee arthroplasties performed in the future, which may pose a financial burden on the healthcare system in Abha, Saudi Arabia.

Key words: Knee arthroplasty, gender, incidence, Saudi Arabia
