Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score including Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (KOOS including WOMAC) score after 3 months, reflecting the functionality and quality of life of patients who underwent two different treatment regimens. <br>We expect a superiority, in terms of postoperative outcome, of the Athletic group over the Classic group. The study will be considered successful if this superiority can be demonstrated.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
- Acquisition and comparison KOOS six, twelve and 24 months postoperatively<br>- Acquisition of PROMS University of California Los Angeles Activity Score (UCLA), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L), Chronic Pain Grade according to von Korff ( CPG n. v. Korff), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS)<br>- Assessment of pain via Visual Analog Scale (VAS)<br>- Measurement of the knee joint extension force (M. quadriceps femoris) via dynamometer<br>- Recording of postoperative complications<br>- Recording of the readmission rate<br>- Assessment of the effect of the two treatment regimens on obesity, diabetes mellitus type II, chronic pain syndrome<br>- Assessment of the effects of the two treatment regimens on the time of complete reintegration into the profession or on the time of resumption of the profession or occupation, respectively.
