Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The incidence of patients that are deemed a failure to cure following definitive treatment, with failure to cure being considered if there is any of the following:<br>- Insufficient improvement in patient reported outcome measures (function or pain) when measured against minimally clinical important difference for the PROMs identified in secondary outcomes;<br>- Adverse findings on post-treatment medical imaging, as identified by radiologist and reported to the surgeon; <br>- Positive signs of instability, weakness or other primary pathology during clinical follow-up, measured by surgeon interpretation of ML stability and AP stability; or<br>- Failure to improve knee or hip range of motion, fixed flexion, extension lag and flexion contracture measured using a goniometer.[3months, 12months, 2years and 5years after clinical diagnosis within the specialist orthopaedic practice or following definitive treatment, depending on the specific pathology.]
