Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measure for this study will be the improvement in knee motion (as measured by FASTRAK system). This will be done before operation and at three and six months after the operation at bionic laboratory at Hartshill Orthopaedic Surgical Unit. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Proprioception as measured by absolute error angle (this is the difference between actual and perceived angle through which the joint has been moved passively). 2. American knee society score, oxford knee score, EuroQol instrument and the Short Form health survey (SF12) will be recorded before and at three months after the operation. 3. Complications 4. Statistical considerations | — |
