Which Oxford Knee Score level represents a satisfactory symptom state after undergoing a total knee replacement?

Knee Kinematic Improvement After Total Knee Replacement Using a Simplified Quantitative Gait Analysis Method

Objectives: The aim of this study was to extract suitable spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters to determine how Total Knee Replacement (TKR) alters patients’ knee kinematics during gait, using a rapid and simplified quantitative two-dimensional gait analysis procedure. Methods: Two-dimensional kinematic gait pattern of 10 participants were collected before and after the TKR surgery,...

Thresholds for Oxford Knee Score after total knee replacement surgery: a novel approach to post-operative evaluation

BACKGROUND In a prospective cohort study, we wanted to detect thresholds distinguishing between patients with a satisfactory and an unsatisfactory outcome after total knee replacement (TKR) based on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), namely the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), using patient satisfaction and patient-perceived function as global transition items. METHODS Seventy-three TKR patie...

Investigating Knowledge of Patients Undergoing Total Knee Replacement

Background: Patients with degenerative knee joint disease may ultimately undergo Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. However, they need enough knowledge about self-care. The current study aimed at determining the knowledge score of patients undergoing TKR. Methods: The current descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted on 140 patients underwent TKR referring to selected hospitals affil...

The Oxford Knee Replacement

We present a study of 67 Oxford bicompartmental total knee replacements performed at a district general hospital. In this general orthopaedic unit, 57 of the knees (85%) had significant relief of pain with a mean fiexion range of 95#{176} and a mean fiexion deformity of only 9#{176}. There was a noticeable difference between osteoarthritic and rheumatoid knees. Poor results could be directly re...
