What Matters Most for Patient Satisfaction Following Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Prospective Institutional Assessment of Individual Questions Captured by KOOS and VR-12 Mental Composite Score
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial in evaluating the success of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to determine the individual significance of each question of the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12) Mental Composite Score (MCS) in achieving a Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS).

Why do women have more trouble after knee injuries? Model explains estrogen's role
A computer model of the cellular environment inside the knee developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers sheds light on why women tend to have worse outcomes after knee injuries than men. Their findings, published in Scientific Reports, could facilitate research into new therapies for knee inflammatory disorders and personalized treatments for patients with these conditions.
How ACL and PCL Injuries Differ
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are two major ligaments in the knee that work together to provide stability. They are also common sites of serious tears, particularly in athletes. Although ACL and PCL injuries may initially appear to have similar symptoms, such as knee instability and pain, the ligament injuries have unique characteristics that make them differ in terms of who is affected, extent of injury, and treatment guidelines.
Trends and Insights in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis
Total hip arthroplasty (THA), a commonly performed surgical procedure for management of end-stage osteoarthritis, is considered minimally invasive and the popularity of the direct anterior approach (DAA) is increasing. The objective of this study is to analyze the current literature on DAA THA through conduct of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis.
