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

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Revision Surgery: Ipsilateral Quadriceps Versus Contralateral Semitendinosus-Gracilis Autografts.
TL;DR: Revision ACL reconstruction using the quadriceps tendon graft showed clinical outcomes similar to those of the contralateral semitendinosus-gracilis graft in terms of knee stability and function.

TL;DR: In both THA and TKA, absence from work affected return to work, whereas self-employment and better preoperative ADL subscale scores were also associated in THA patients, and the impact of ADL scores on return toWork was modified by type of surgery.

Preferences for heat, cold, or contrast in patients with knee osteoarthritis affect treatment response.
Craig R. Denegar,Devon R Dougherty,Jacob E Friedman,Maureen E Schimizzi,James E Clark,Brett A. Comstock,William J. Kraemer +6 more
TL;DR: Patients are recommended to experiment to identify the intervention that offers them the greatest relief and that contrast is a treatment option when superficial heat or cold is considered in the management of knee OA.

TL;DR: Clinical significance achieving early symmetrical lower extremity loading and minimizing under‐loading of the ACLR limb during walking may be a potential therapeutic target for improving patient‐reported outcomes post‐ACLR.

TL;DR: It is suggested that intra-articular polynucleotides can be a valid alternative to traditional hyaluronan supplementation for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

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.
