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 Long-term Consequence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus Injuries Osteoarthritis
TL;DR: The objectives of this study are to review the long-term consequences of injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci, the pathogenic mechanisms, and the causes of the considerable variability in outcome, and to strive toward a comparable level of quality of evidence in surgical treatment of knee injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology and impact of pain in osteoarthritis.
TL;DR: More insights are needed into pain mechanisms in OA to enable rational mechanism-based management of pain and to contribute to a substantial socioeconomic burden.

Pathogenesis and management of pain in osteoarthritis
Paul Dieppe,L. Stefan Lohmander +1 more
TL;DR: A stepwise approach to the management of osteoarthritis is presented, and central pain sensitisation can also occur, and psychosocial factors are important determinants of pain severity.

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary group of ACL expert clinicians and scientists are invited to review current evidence including data from the new Scandinavian ACL registries, critically evaluate high-quality studies of injury mechanics and consider the key elements of successful prevention programmes.

A Randomized Trial of Treatment for Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears
TL;DR: In young, active adults with acute ACL tears, a strategy of rehabilitation plus early ACL reconstruction was not superior to a strategyof rehabilitation plus optional delayed ACL reconstruction, but the latter strategy substantially reduced the frequency of surgical reconstructions.

Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)--validation of a Swedish version.
TL;DR: Reliability, validity, and responsiveness of a Swedish version of the KOOS was assessed in 142 patients who underwent arthroscopy because of injury to the menisci, anterior cruciate ligament, or cartilage of the knee.

Impact of type of meniscal tear on radiographic and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a sixteen-year followup of meniscectomy with matched controls.
TL;DR: It is suggested that degenerative meniscal tears may be associated with incipient OA, and that the meniscal tear signals the first symptom of the disease.

TL;DR: In this analysis, mean changes of roughly 9 to 12 mm (100 mm normalized visual analog scale, VAS) on WOMAC scales were perceptible changes to patients with hip and knee OA.

Analysis of subjective knee complaints using visual analog scales
TL;DR: The visual analog scale system was shown to be valid and comparable to other methods while offering several advantages, including greater sensitivity and greater statistical power to data collection and analysis by allowing a broader range of responses than did traditional categorical responses.
