Patient perspectives are crucial for assessing knee surgery outcomes. Validated questionnaires and activity scales are essential tools for evaluating treatment effectiveness and patient progress in knee disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery outcome assessment
  • Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)

Background:

  • Knee surgery outcome assessment has shifted towards patient-reported perspectives over the last 20 years.
  • Traditional metrics like physical exams and imaging are complemented by patient-centric evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the increasing importance of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in knee surgery.
  • To emphasize the need for validated instruments to assess knee function and quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Review of outcome assessment methodologies in knee surgery.
  • Discussion of measurement qualities: reliability, validity, and responsiveness for health-related quality of life instruments.
  • Identification of available questionnaires for various patient populations (active vs. degenerative).

Main Results:

  • Questionnaires are increasingly vital for determining the value of knee procedures.
  • Activity level is a significant prognostic factor in knee disorders.
  • Validated activity rating scales are necessary for comprehensive patient evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are paramount in modern knee surgery assessment.
  • Selecting reliable and valid questionnaires is critical for accurate outcome evaluation.
  • Integrating activity level assessment provides a more complete understanding of patient recovery and function.
