Outcomes
Osteoarthritis, Knee Injury, knee pain
SECONDARY, OSTEOARTHRITIS
We evaluated the range of motion (ROM) as the primary outcome. For secondary outcomes, we evaluated the visual analogue scale (VAS) score for knee pain at walking, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for symptoms (KOOS-S) and quality of life (KOOS-QoL), Oxford knee score (OKS), and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS). We also evaluated the mechanical femoral-tibial axis (mFTA) for radiographic evaluation as a secondary outcome. Patients were surveyed preoperatively and at the latest follow-up (minimum 2 years) postoperatively by a single orthopaedic surgeon who was not a part of the main surgical team and was not aware of the patient’s group allocations or radiograph evaluation results until the end of the study.
