Primary Outcome Measures

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
