Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual analog scale for pain (VAS 0-100)Record every 12 hours after surgery until 2 weeks postoperatively, then once weekly until 12 weeks postopertivelyVisual analog scale for pain at rest and on motion (knee flexion 90 degrees) using 0-100 mm, where a score of 0 represented no pain and 100 indicated the most severe pain

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The amount of analgesic drug usedDuring hospitalization and at home until 12 weeks after surgeryThe amount of IV morphine and oral tramadol (milligram)
Adverse effectsThe first week after surgeryIncidence of adverse effects including pyrexia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, injection site pain, and somnolence
Length of stayDuring hospitalization (from admission to discharge)Length of stay (day)
Forgotten Joint ScoreAt pre-operative, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks postoperativelyForgotten Joint Score (Thai version) with 12 questions. Each item was scored on a Likert scale (0-4). The raw score was converted to a 0-100 scale (0 = worst, 100 = best)
Time up and go (TUG) testAt pre-operative, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks postoperativelyTime up and go (TUG) test records the time in seconds when the patient starts standing up from the chair, then walks 3 meters at a normal pace, and turns around to sit on the chair.
Knee range of motionAt pre-operative, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks postoperativelyAngle of knee flexion and extension in degrees using a long goniometer
Modified WOMAC scoreAt pre-operative, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks postoperativelyModified Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score, including total & subscore. Each item was scored with a Likert scale (0-4). The overall MOWAC was 0-96 (high score = worse symptoms)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of closed manipulationAt 3 months postoperativelyClosed manipulation under anesthesia due to an unsatisfactory range of motion
