Time-dependent Improvement of Functional Outcome Following LCS Rotating Platform TKR

Time-dependent Improvement of Functional Outcome Following LCS Rotating Platform TKR - A Prospective Longitudinal Study With Repetitive Measures of KOOS

The objective of this prospective study is to determine (1) the time course of patient-relevant functional outcome evaluated by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and (2) the time course of range of motion (ROM) the first four years following TKR using the LCS rotating platform prosthesis. Improvement of patient self-reported pain and daily function during the study period, are of particular interest.
