The goal of this prospective, randomized study is to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing primary TKA after photographing final knee range of motion immediately post-operatively and sharing these photographs with patients at their first follow-up appointment versus a group that does not see a photograph.
The goal of this prospective, randomized study is to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after photographing final knee range of motion immediately postoperatively and sharing these photographs with patients at their first follow-up appointment versus a group that does not see a photograph. The knee will be photographed in maximum flexion and extension. The primary objectives will be to compare the range of motion of the operative knee at 2 weeks and 6 weeks postoperatively. In the investigator's institution, patients who have failed to achieve 90 degrees of flexion at a postoperative period of 6 weeks undergo manipulation of the knee under anesthesia (MUA). The investigators will also measure how many patients require MUA in the photograph group and non-photograph group. MUA will be performed if patients fail to achieve 90 degrees of flexion at 6 weeks post-op.

| Patient will be shown a photograph of their knee at 2 weeks postop | Other | Patients who undergo primary TKA surgery will then be shown a photograph of their knee at 2 weeks postoperative. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| total length of hospital stay | total length of hospital stay as defined by number of days from date of surgery to date of discharge | outcome measure will be taken at 2 weeks postoperatively |
| Knee Society Score | Knee Society Score. The score is on a scale from 0-100. A higher value represents a better outcome. | outcome measure will be taken preoperatively (4-6 weeks prior to date of surgery) |
| Knee Society Score | Knee Society Score. The score is on a scale from 0-100. A higher value represents a better outcome. | outcome measure will be taken 6 weeks (± 2 weeks) postoperatively |
| WOMAC Score | WOMAC score. The score is on a scale from 0-100. In contrast to the Knee Society Score, on the WOMAC a lower value represents a better outcome | outcome measure will be taken preoperatively (4-6 weeks prior to date of surgery) |
| WOMAC Score | WOMAC score. The score is on a scale from 0-100. In contrast to the Knee Society Score, on the WOMAC a lower value represents a better outcome | outcome measure will be taken 6 weeks (± 2 weeks) postoperatively |
| Active range-of-motion (ROM) | Active ROM (range-of-motion) as measured by a goniometer (range of 0-135 degrees) | outcome measure will be taken preoperatively (4-6 weeks prior to date of surgery) |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants with postoperative complications | Number of Participants with postoperative complications. A postoperative complication is defined as any diagnosis or condition that necessitates a re-operation or procedure on the surgical knee | outcome measure will be taken 6 weeks (± 2 weeks) postoperatively |
