TLDR
The KOOS is a valid, reliable and responsive self-administered instrument that can be used for short-term and long-term follow-up of several types of knee injury including osteoarthritis.Abstract:
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was developed as an extension of the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index with the purpose of evaluating short-term and long-term symptoms and function in subjects with knee injury and osteoarthritis. The KOOS holds five separately scored subscales: Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL). The KOOS has been validated for several orthopaedic interventions such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscectomy and total knee replacement. In addition the instrument has been used to evaluate physical therapy, nutritional supplementation and glucosamine supplementation. The effect size is generally largest for the subscale QOL followed by the subscale Pain. The KOOS is a valid, reliable and responsive self-administered instrument that can be used for short-term and long-term follow-up of several types of knee injury including osteoarthritis. The measure is relatively new and further use of the instrument will add knowledge and suggest areas that need to be further explored and improved.read more

TL;DR: The TransLateral technique proved its clinical effectiveness and its ability to restore knee stability after ACL reconstruction surgery, and was found to re-establish joint functionality and stability in ACL-deficient knees.

TL;DR: The results of this study support the idea of using PROMIS PF in place of joint-specific measures such as KOOS, JR for clinical care of patients with knee pain.

Biceps femoris muscle transposition for treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small breed dogs.
Roberto Tamburro,Stefania Pinna,Anna Maria Tribuiani,Alessandra Panacea,Fabio Carli,Antonio Venturini +5 more
TL;DR: BFT is a simple extracapsular surgical technique that can be used for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small breed dogs and shows significant improvement in all patients, especially at 1 month postoperatively.

Subjective and objective outcome measures after total knee replacement: is there a correlation?
TL;DR: The relationships between commonly used outcome scores after TKR through a prospective cohort study to assess the relationships between patient reported scores and functional tests are assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating hip abductor strengthening exercises into a rehabilitation program did not improve outcomes in people following total knee arthroplasty: a randomised trial.
TL;DR: Similar improvements in muscle strength, functional performance and patient-reported outcomes were observed whether specific hip-strengthening exercises were incorporated or general functional exercises were continued instead as part of a postoperative rehabilitation program for participants after total knee arthroplasty.

TL;DR: A new activity grading scale, where work and sport activities were graded numerically, was constructed as complement to the functional score, showing that the symptom-related score gave a more differentiated picture of the disability.

TL;DR: The KOOS proved reliable, responsive to surgery and physical therapy, and valid for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and can be used to evaluate the course of knee injury and treatment outcome.
