Process / pipelineKnee replacement outcome and functional assessment

Oxford Knee Score

The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a brief, validated self-report questionnaire developed by Murray and colleagues at the University of Oxford in 1998 to measure outcomes following knee replacement surgery. The OKS comprises 12 items assessing knee pain, knee-related functional limitations, and quality of life in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. It is the primary patient-reported outcome measure for knee replacement in international orthopedic research and clinical practice.
