A techinque for recording the results of knee surgery.
A research form for recording clinical data relating to the arthritic knee is described. Data are recorded using a numerical code which facilitates transfer to a computer and provides an easily read record. Any form must be a compromise but the one described has been proven clinically by providing the data for a multi-center evaluation of hundreds of knees observed over a period of 5 years. A shorter form is described for routine follow-up purposes.
The presentation of the results of knee surgery.
A method is described by which the detailed results of knee surgery may be presented in a compact, readily understood and easily analyzable fashion. The data can be analyzed and presented either manually or by a computer and if the latter is used no special print-out equipment is required. The success of the method has been proved over a 5-year period in the monitoring of the results of a multi-institutional investigation of total knee arthroplasty.
