Effectiveness of Contemporary Knee Arthroplasty in Working-age Patients

The aim of our study was to assess the effectiveness of contemporary knee arthroplasty in working-age patients (< 65 years) by conducting a prospective cohort study with 2-year follow up. Outcomes were measured comprehensively using various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to provide information on the effect of knee arthroplasty on pain, satisfaction, physical activity, activities of daily living, and quality of life.
