Intro� Numerous studies highlight

 ± outcome

 ± function

� variety of measures/scores

� medium term (3 & 5 year studies)

� long term (5 years +)

� Few show progressive outcome profile of a cohort

Aim� Assess  sequential change in knee outcome

& function in a cohort of patients

undergoing TKA

� Assess the differential outcome profile

depending on the degree on initial

functional impairment

1) Comparing mild to severe pre-operative knees:

May be  significant difference in functional

Improvement (Oxford Knee Score)««

«..but no difference in clinical improvement

(KSS and range of movement)

2) Is continued improvement limited to 2-3 years ?
