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

Instability, Laxity, and Physical Function in Patients With Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
TL;DR: Self-reported knee instability is a factor that is not directly associated with knee laxity and contributes to worse function and further research is necessary to delineate the factors that contribute to self- reported knee instability and reduced function in this population.

Articular Cartilage Changes in Patients With Osteoarthritis After Osteotomy
TL;DR: Results showed that after a nonweightbearing period, the rate of change in the medial compartment changes from negative to positive, indicating the potential for articular cartilage recovery secondary to an improved mechanical environment.

Mid- to long-term functional outcome after open reduction and internal fixation of tibial plateau fractures
TL;DR: This is the first study to describe mid- to long-term functional outcome after ORIF for all types of tibial plateau fractures, with the use of the KOOS, and shows that radiological characteristics of osteoarthritis are not related with lower functional outcomes in the mid-to-long-term.

Predictors for additional anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: data from the Swedish national ACL register
TL;DR: The rate of additional ACL reconstruction is increased in a selected group of young patients aiming to return to strenuous sports after primary surgery and should be taken into consideration when discussing primary ACL reconstruction, return to sports, and during post-surgery rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pain and Function in Patients After Primary Unicompartmental and Total Knee Arthroplasty
TL;DR: Only small or no differences in pain and function are found between the scores, at least two years following surgery, of patients who underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and those of patientsWho underwent total knee ar Throplasty; however, patients with unicompartmentsal knee implants had fewer problems with activities that involved bending the knee.

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.

TL;DR: The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a valid, reliable, and responsive outcome measure in total joint replacement and may be at least as responsive as the WOMAC.
