Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of computer controlled cooling on postoperative pain in rest in the first 7 days of recovery, measured with the NRS score.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
* Assess the effect of compute controlled cooling on the use of analgesics. * To compare the overall quality of life in patients with regular aftercare combined with computer controlled cooling to patients with regular aftercare. The Quality of Life will be measured by using standardized questionnaires being: EQ-5D, NRS for patient satisfaction, KOOS-ps and a OKS. These scores are discussed in detail in appendix * Range of motion of the affected knee compared with the healthy knee	—
