Thus, the mean KSS knee value in the PTA group was significantly lower than in the PA group (p = 0.02), but the amount of improvement between the 2 groups was similar (p = 0.4).
At the last follow-up (Table 3), in the PA group the mean KSS knee value improved from 39 (SD 18) to 87 (SD 16) (p = 0.003) and in the PTA group, it improved from 31 (SD 11) to 77 (SD 15) (p = 0.003).
The mean differential HS temperature (affected minus not affected knee values) were, respectively, 1.92 ± 1.20°C and 0.32 ± 0.73°C (P < 0.0001) in the septic and aseptic knee prosthesis; similarly, mean differential SSA temperatures were, respectively 2.17 ± 1.47°C and 0.58 ± 0.48°C (P < 0.0001).
Therefore, comparisons between pre- and post-lesion values of knee angle values did well inform on the impact of the lesion on joint kinematics.
Finally, iontophoresis-derived endothelial parameters were highly correlated with SOFA score: Knee basal value P = 0.005, r = −0.53, knee peak value knee P < 0.001, r = −0.62, area under the curve P = 0.001, r = −0.61.
The CQI Hip Knee Importance also comprises demographical items, and in addition consists of importance items asking how important hip and knee patients value the quality aspects of the CQI Hip Knee Experience with answering categories ranging from not important to very important.
However, we showed that with the current prosthetic design, knee ROM values after 24 months can be predicted statistically from the ROM values at 3 months [ 7].
Single-legged landings generated higher vertical GRF (χ2 = 244.68, P <.001) and lower peak knee-flexion values ( F4,64 = 209.33, P <.001) except for forward jump to single-legged landing, which had the second highest peak vertical GRF and the lowest peak knee-flexion value.
Knee flexion values of 95° and 105° are regarded as RoM benchmarks [ 27] in the functional recovery after CPM.
Knee flexion values of 95° and 105° are regarded as range of motion benchmarks [ 6] in the functional recovery following CPM.
With regard to side-to-side difference values, we found an average of 3.45 mm in operated knees; a value less than the long-term 4.7 mm recorded by Rangger et al. [ 34].
