What Is the Correlation between Clinical and Radiographic Findings in Patients with Advanced Osteoarthritis of the Knee?

ABSTRACT: Knee range of motion and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are often used as screening tools to assess the severity of knee osteoarthritis and guide the decision to refer patients to an arthroplasty clinic. However, there is little understanding regarding the correlation between these factors. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between patient-reported clinical function measured with the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), pain assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS), knee range of motion (ROM), and characteristic radiographic features in patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the knee.
