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

Factors predictive of outcome 5 years after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation in the tibiofemoral joint.
TL;DR: Factors such as preoperative SF-36 scores, duration of knee symptoms, graft size, and postoperative course of weightbearing rehabilitation as pertinent variables involved in 5-year clinical and radiological outcomes and overall satisfaction are outlined.

Radiographic joint space width is correlated with 4-year clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis: data from the osteoarthritis initiative
TL;DR: The results indicate quantitative radiographic JSW measurements correlate with 4-year clinical outcomes, suggesting clinical outcomes in knee OA may be predetermined once the disease process begins.

Advancing the use of patient-reported outcomes in practice: understanding challenges, opportunities, and the potential of health information technology.
TL;DR: Opportunities exist during different stages of PRO implementation to advance the use of PROs in clinical practice and health information technology can be utilized to address challenges in data collection, integration, and visualization to make PRO data accessible and understandable to patients and providers.

Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis (AMIC) and AMIC Enhanced by Autologous Concentrated Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMAC) Allow for Stable Clinical and Functional Improvements at up to 9 Years Follow-Up: Results from a Randomized Controlled Study.
Laura de Girolamo,Herbert Schönhuber,Marco Viganò,Corrado Bait,Alessandro Quaglia,Gabriele Thiebat,Piero Volpi +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that AMIC and AMIC+ are effective treatments for focal chondral lesions with beneficial effect lasting up to 9 years and is thus more indicated for patients requiring a prompt return to activity.

Total Knee Arthroplasty for Knee Osteoarthritis: Support for a Foregone Conclusion?:
TL;DR: It is concluded that TKA combined with additional nonoperative care postoperatively is more efficacious than nonsurgical treatment alone in terms of improving pain, function, and quality of life at 12 months but is associated with more SAE.
