The Bristol score demonstrated the highest interobserver reliability for total knee arthroplasty outcomes. Objective measures like range of motion and walking distance also showed strong reliability among observers.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Statistics

Background:

  • Assessing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes is crucial for patient care.
  • Several scoring systems exist, but their interobserver reliability varies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the interobserver correlation of four common TKA outcome scores: Hungerford, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Knee Society (KS), and Bristol.
  • To identify the most reliable score for clinical assessment of TKA.

Main Methods:

  • Two independent observers assessed 118 TKAs using the Hungerford, HSS, KS, and Bristol scores.
  • Each score included subscores for pain, knee status, and function.

Main Results:

  • The Bristol score exhibited the highest interobserver correlation (0.88).

  • High interobserver correlation was found for objective knee measures (range of motion, flexion contracture, extension lag > 0.8) and functional measures (walking distance, walking aids > 0.7).

    • Conclusions:

    • The Bristol score is recommended for reliable assessment of TKA outcomes.
    • A comprehensive TKA assessment should include pain (four-step system), knee status (ROM, contracture, lag), and function (walking aids, distance).
