Clinical and Functional Outcomes Following Total Knee Replacement Using Two Different Implants
The purpose of this study is to assess the differences in functional and patient reported
outcomes between total knee replacement (TKA) implants. In addition, this work will examine
the correlation between functional assessments and patient reported outcomes following
surgery. All subjects will complete assessments preoperatively, 4-6 weeks following TKA and
then one year following TKA. Subjects will complete a series of patient reported outcomes as
well as a series of functional outcomes at each of the time points of interest. The analysis
will include a repeated measures design to determine differences between groups across time
as well as correlations between the functional and patient reported outcomes. This work will
hopefully determine the importance of using objective functional outcomes following TKA as
well as determining the need for patient assessments out to one year following surgery.
