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

The outcome of rotating-platform total knee arthroplasty with cement at a minimum of ten years of follow-up.
Jean-Noël Argenson,Sébastien Parratte,Abdullah Ashour,Bertrand Saintmard,Jean-Manuel Aubaniac +4 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated durable clinical and radiographic results at a minimum of ten years after total knee replacement with a second-generation, cemented, rotating-platform, posterior-stabilized total knee prosthesis and believes that this design is a valuable option for active patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Clinical thresholds for quadriceps assessment after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
TL;DR: Threshold values established in this study may provide a guide for clinicians when making return-to-activity decisions after ACLR, and are both strong indicators of good patient-reported outcomes after knee-related outcomes.

Quantifying Self-Report Measures' Overestimation of Mobility Scores Postarthroplasty
TL;DR: Dependence on scores of self-report measures alone, without knowledge of the magnitude of the identified systematic differences, will result in overestimating the ability of patients to move around postarthroplasty.

Does patella resurfacing really matter? Pain and function in 972 patients after primary total knee arthroplasty: An observational study from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register
TL;DR: Resurfacing of the patella has no clinical effect on pain and function after TKA and there was a tendency of better results for the NexGen implant as compared to the reference brand AGC for symptoms.

Activity preferences, lifestyle modifications and re-injury fears influence longer-term quality of life in people with knee symptoms following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a qualitative study
TL;DR: Activity preferences, lifestyle modifications and fear of re-injury influenced quality of life in people with knee symptoms up to 20 years following ACLR.

Validation study of WOMAC: a health status instrument for measuring clinically important patient relevant outcomes to antirheumatic drug therapy in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.
TL;DR: WOMAC is a disease-specific purpose built high performance instrument for evaluative research in osteoarthritis clinical trials and fulfil conventional criteria for face, content and construct validity, reliability, responsiveness and relative efficiency.

Rating systems in the evaluation of knee ligament injuries.

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.
