- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate the range-of-motion of the knee measured by goniometric method. An increase of 20% is expected in the intervention group. ;It is expected an increase of 20% in the range of motion, in the group in which the intervention was done (differentiated orientation)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The purpose is to evaluate post-operative pain measured by visual analogic pain scale (VAPS). We estimate an 20% reduction of pain scale in the intervention group. <br>;SF36 and Womac functional scores will be evaluated in the pre and in the post-operative period. This outcome aim to analyze patient subjective satisfaction regarding surgical procedure. Intervention should increase more than 20% in the functional scores. ;Walk capacity will be evaluated measuring quantitatively the walk capability measured in block distance per day. A 30% increment in walk capability is expected in the intervention group.
