Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

It is known that surgical outcomes are good in the majority following a Sigma knee at 5 years. 3% have persistent pain. Is it possible to predict these patients? Is it possible to make a determination as to which of the 3 outcome measures ((1) American Knee Society Score; (2) SF12 Oxford 12 and (3) Complications) is most appropriate to use and when is the most appropriate time to use it

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Predictors of poor outcomes using 3 measures
Time Frame: 10 years
A prospective database was set up in October 1998. Patient details were collected preoperatively, intra operatively and immediately post operatively. Patients are then followed up in a dedicated knee clinic at 6 months, 18 months, 3 years and 5 years. Data such as SF12 and the American Knee Society Score was done at each visit
10 years
