Name Time Method Knee society knee score minimum 10 year follow up after the index surgery a proven score for the measurement of knee function, the score ranges from 0 to 100, 100 being the best possible score, indicating normal knee function
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method WOMAC(Western Ontario and McMaster Universities) Scores minimum 10 year follow up after the index surgery A tool to evaluate patient function associated with knee. The WOMAC measures five items for pain (score range 0-20), two for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 for functional limitation (score range 0-68). The total score is summed from individual sections, and 0 is the best possible score.
Range of motion minimum 10 year follow up after the index surgery maximum flexion of the knee
