Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Oxford Knee Score

    The OKS is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire that was developed to specifically assess the patient's perspective of outcome following TKA. The OKS consists of twelve questions covering function and pain associated with the knee. To calculate the total score, each question is scored from 0 (worst outcome) to 4 (best outcome) and the sum of all 12 items is reported with a maximum of 48, representing the best score possible. The outcome score can be categorized as Excellent: \> 41; Good: 34 - 41; Fair: 27 - 33; Poor: \< 27

    3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Oxford Knee Score - Activity & Participation Questionnaire (APQ)

    3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  • Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)

    3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  • Patient Satisfaction and Anchoring Questions - Question 1

    3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  • Patient Satisfaction and Anchoring Questions - Question 2

    3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  • Patient Satisfaction and Anchoring Questions - Question 3

    3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively

  • +4 more secondary outcomes
