About this study

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) remains the surgical gold standard treatment for patients suffering from end stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. However, due to the high demand and scarce medical resources, the waiting time for surgery is astoundingly lengthy. Controversies are shown on numerous studies on whether physical functionality and mental status decline or remain stable over the waiting period. This study aims to evaluate the progression on patients suffering from end stage OA whilst being on the waiting list for TKR.
