The primary aim of this study is to document whether patellofemoral arthroplasty is a good treatment option for patellofemoral osteoarthritis and to identify prognostic outcome factors. Secondary aim is to investigate the influence of preoperative tibiofemoral osteoarthritis on the clinical outcome. From 2004 to 2010, 37 Avon patellofemoral prostheses were implanted in 32 patients. Clinical out...

Objectives: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft tears and contralateral ACL are both relatively common following primary reconstruction (ACLR). While some prior studies have combined these injuries as an outcome variable (“subsequent injury”), there is little work comparing the outcomes of injuries. We hypothesize that patient reported measures (PROMs) activity level lower revision ACLR than...

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to translate Spanish the patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis subscale knee injury outcome score (KOOS-PF) validate version a disease-specific patient-reported measure (PROM) for pain. Results KOOS-PF translated sixty patients with and/or accepted complete questionnaire. 1-week later 58 answered questions again test–retest reliability validation fi...

Abstract Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) occurs frequently in females. So far, no study has evaluated postoperative outcome measures females based on body height. We aimed to evaluate pain relief and Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) at 6 months women following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this prospective, observational pilot study, 20 women, 50–70 years, American Society of ...

Introduction : High tibial medial open-wedge valgus osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established procedure for unicompartimental osteoarthritis of the young and active patient. However, influence cartilage defects lateral compartment on total outcome remains obscure. Methods From 2005 to 2012, 63 patients underwent HTO knee at single university orthopaedic center. Baseline data as well intraoperative ...

Objectives: Golf has been associated with abnormal loading conditions to the knee joint due repetitiveness and biomechanical requirements of golf swing. This study seeks evaluate prevalence factors attributing symptomatic osteoarthritis among professional golfers in Kenya. Materials Methods: Participants included all Kenya above 18 years. Golfer’s demographics golf-related characteristics were ...

Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) in Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using anchor method. Methods: Scores for each KOOS subscale were calculated preoperatively 3 6 months postoperatively create receiver operating characteristic curves, MCIDs calcul...
