TwoYear Outcomes are Equal in KellgrenLawrence Osteoarthritis Grades 14 after Total Knee Arthroplast...

While risks exist with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and survivorship is not indefinite, delaying surgery may lead to further deterioration of the knee joint, functional outcomes, and health status. Most studies report that patients with high-grade osteoarthritis (OA) scores have higher satisfaction and functional scores, cautioning against TKA in those with lower OA grades. This study correlates Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) OA scores with outcomes following kinematically-aligned TKA.
