Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Opioid Utilization for First 24 Hours Post-SurgeryUp to Hour 24 Post-Procedure (Post-Operative Day 1 [POD 1])

Opioid utilization for the first 24 hours after surgery, including during surgery, calculated as oral morphine equivalent.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient-Reported VAS Score - Post-Operative Day 3 (POD 3)POD 3

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

Patient-Reported VAS Score - Post-Operative Day 7 (POD 7)POD 7

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

KOOS-PS Score - Month 6 Follow-UpMonth 6 Post-Operation

7-item assessment of how well participants are able to perform different activities. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4), with 0 representing "none" and 4 representing "extreme". The raw score is the sum of responses and is converted to a total score ranging from 0-100, where higher scores indicate greater function.

Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) Score - BaselineBaseline

The Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) is a 1-item, self-administered questionnaire used to assess a patient's ability to engage in work and sports activities. The item is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing maximum disability and 10 representing elite sports participation. The total score is the item response.

Patient-Reported Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score - BaselineBaseline

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

Patient-Reported VAS Score in Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)Post-Operation (POD 0 - typically up to 3 hours)

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

Patient-Reported VAS Score - Month 6 Follow-UpMonth 6 Post-Operation

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) - Physical Function Shortform (KOOS-PS) Score - BaselineBaseline

7-item assessment of how well participants are able to perform different activities. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4), with 0 representing "none" and 4 representing "extreme". The raw score is the sum of responses and is converted to a total score ranging from 0-100, where higher scores indicate greater function.

Kujala Score / Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS) - BaselineBaseline

13-item self-report questionnaire that assesses subjective reactions to particular activities and symptoms that are known to correlate with anterior knee pain syndrome. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest possible score. Lower scores reflect greater pain and disability.

Kujala Score / AKPS - Month 6 Follow-UpMonth 6 Post-Operation

13-item self-report questionnaire that assesses subjective reactions to particular activities and symptoms that are known to correlate with anterior knee pain syndrome. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest possible score. Lower scores reflect greater pain and disability.

Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) Score - Month 6 Follow-UpMonth 6 Post-Operation

The Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) is a 1-item, self-administered questionnaire used to assess a patient's ability to engage in work and sports activities. The item is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing maximum disability and 10 representing elite sports participation. The total score is the item response.

Patient-Reported VAS Score - Post-Operative Day 1 (POD 1)POD 1

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

Patient-Reported VAS Score - Post-Operative Day 2 (POD 2)POD 2

Patients rate their pain score on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain); the total score is the response.

Length of Stay in PACUPost-Operation (POD 0 - typically up to 3 hours)

Length of time the patient is in the PACU prior to discharge.
