[Research Progress in Application of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Total Knee Arthroplasty]

To summarize the clinical application of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and provide reference for the application of PROM in perioperative evaluation of the patients receiving TKA,we reviewed the recent studies about the application of PROM in TKA and analyzed the contents and application characteristics of the PROM.The common PROM in TKA,such as the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index,Oxford Knee Score,and Forgotten Joint Score,principally focus on patients' subjective feelings about pain,function and other aspects of their knees.However,they have diverse ranges of application and each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages.There is a variety of PROM applied in TKA,which makes it challenging to select the proper measurement for evaluation.The PROM in TKA remains to be improved for broader use.
