Background:
Incongruity in the evaluation of outcomes between patients and surgeons has led to an increasing utilization of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as an evaluation method of outcome.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to compare Oxford Knee Score (OKS), KOOS-PS and Kujala Score results in patients who received either PFA or TKA with and without patella resurfacing in the tretament of knee osteoarthritis.
Methods:
A total of 50 patients (PFA = 19 patients; TKA with patelloplasty = 15 patients; TKA with patellar resurfacing = 16 patients) undergone surgery between 2011 and 2014 and were included for final analysis.
Results:
No statistical significance was found for OKS, KOOS-PS and Kujala scores between the three groups. However, although patients with PFA experienced higher levels of pain.
Conclusions:
According to our results, it is essential to discuss the treatment options and quality of life expectations with the patient prior joint replacement surgery in order to reduce patient dissatisfaction.
Level Of Evidence:
Level III, retrospective comparative study.
