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: HGS can be used as a tool to inform patients with OA who are future candidates for a prosthesis about the possible improvements of certain aspects of life after arthroplasty, indicating that with greater pre-operative HGS, an increased gain in 1-year post-surgery score was observed.

Magnetic resonance evaluation in long term follow up of operated lateral tibial plateau fractures

TL;DR: An unexpectedly high number of pathological changes in the menisci and ligaments were observed and the overall condition of the knee joint was satisfactory as measured by the WORMS, and there was a weak correlation between WORMS and KOOS.

Strength deficits and flexion range of motion following primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction differ between quadriceps and hamstring autografts.
TL;DR: The QT graft does not appear to offer a more rapid recovery in terms of knee symptoms or function which could have allowed for faster progression to the dynamic phases of rehabilitation.

TL;DR: MCT has beneficial effects on pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis that are not explained by a placebo effect and are suggested to be helpful in particular for patients who are afraid of unpleasant sensations from electrotherapy with stronger currents.
