> Valgus stress radiographs of the knee have been
described as a diagnostic option to assess the ability
to correct varus knee deformity in patients with
medial compartment osteoarthritis who may be can-
didates for medial unicompartmental knee arthro-
plasty (Argenson etal. 2002).
Similar to full-length standing radiographs, stress radio­graphs are not routinely obtained by all providers. To obtain this view, a rm valgus force is applied through the knee while the X-ray beam is shot from anterior to posterior (Waldstein etal. 2013). The utility of valgus stress radiographs is unknown as these radiographs do not signicantly correlate to the amount of lateral com­partment cartilage or the correctability of varus defor­mity (Waldstein etal. 2013). In theory, however, if the lateral compartment was to collapse on a valgus stress radiograph, the patient may not be an ideal candidate for medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
11.3 Radiographic Grading
While a number of grading systems are utilized to quan­tify the severity of knee osteoarthritis as seen on plain radiographs, Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) is the most com­monly used method to grade radiographic osteoarthritis severity (Braun and Gold 2011; Kellgren and Lawrence
1957). The KL system was rst described in 1957 based
on AP knee radiographs.
. Table 11.1 Kellgren–Lawrence grading system for knee
osteoarthritis
Grade 0 No radiographic features of osteoarthritis are
present.
Grade 1 Doubtful joint space narrowing and possible
osteophyte formation
Grade 2 Denite osteophyte formation, possible joint
space narrowing
Grade 3 Multiple osteophytes, denite joint space
narrowing, sclerosis, possible deformity
Grade 4 Large osteophytes, marked joint space narrowing,
severe sclerosis, denite deformity
In addition to the Kellgren–Lawrence grading sys-
tem, a number of other radiographic grading systems exist (.
Table 11.2). Each of the grading systems
assesses the degree of joint space narrowing as well as other identiable characteristic osseous changes such as osteophytes. In a recent study, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Classication had the most favorable combination of reliability and corre­lation to the severity of osteoarthritis as seen during arthroscopy (Wright etal. 2014).
11.4 Radiographic Assessment
ofNon-Osteoarthritic Arthritis
> The KL system combined their observed radiographic
features of OA which included: osteophytes on the
joint margin or tibial spines, narrowing of joint carti-
lage associated with sclerosis of subchondral bone, and
small pseudocystic areas with sclerotic walls situated in
subchondral bone (Kellgren and Lawrence 1957).
The system has become pervasive in orthopedic litera­ture for research related to OA of many joints as well as useful in guiding clinical decision-making and outcome prediction. Even insurance companies will often require documentation of aspects of the KL classication prior to granting TKA and viscosupplementation injection authorization.
The KL grading system is shown in .
Table 11.1.
Despite its wide adoption, studies have demonstrated a wide range of interobserver reliability of the KL grad­ing system ranging from 0.51 to 0.89 (Wright 2014). Furthermore, a recent study found that the interclass correlation coefcient (ICC) of the KL grading system signicantly varied based on the type of image that was being graded with a exed posteroanterior X-ray having a higher ICC as compared to a fully extended antero­posterior X-ray (Wright etal. 2014).
While the majority of patients who present to the arthro­plasty clinic will have primary osteoarthritis, it is impor­tant for the provider to be able to critically assess radiographs to identify features that may suggest an alternative cause to the patient’s arthritis such as an inammatory process, trauma, or infection.
> The presence of bony erosions (Jacobson etal. 2008),
which are a hallmark of inammatory arthritis, can readily allow a clinician to differentiate between inammatory and primary osteoarthritis.
Bony erosions in the setting of inammatory arthritis typically occur at the margin of an inamed joint in an area that is devoid of hyaline cartilage. In addition to bony erosions, inammatory arthritis is also character­ized by uniform joint space narrowing since cartilage destruction is uniform throughout the joint.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common example of inammatory arthritis. Radiographic features sugges­tive of rheumatoid arthritis include uniform joint space loss, bony erosions, soft tissue swelling, and periarticular osteopenia (. Fig. 11.3) (Jacobson et al. 2008).

Additionally, there tends to be a lack of bony prolifera­tion (osteophyte formation) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis which may help further differentiate it from pri­mary osteoarthritis (Jacobson etal. 2008).
Similar to rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis as the sequelae of a septic joint can be identied with uniform joint space narrowing, soft tissue swelling, and bony ero­sions. History is typically helpful in differentiating between rheumatoid and infectious arthritis as rheuma­toid arthritis is polyarthritis while septic arthritis is typi­cally monoarticular and the patient will describe a history of an infection.
A plain radiograph can offer diagnostic findings in addition to the standard patterns of wear. Clinicians should also be able to determine patterns of post- traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee on plain radiographs or ACL-deficient knee patterns (Johnson et al. 2017). Other diagnoses such as crystalline deposit disorders (calcium pyrophosphate disease [CPPD] or pseudogout and gout), retained hardware, bony and soft tissue tumors, avascular necrosis, osteochondral defects, vascular disease/calcifications, and congenital deformities are all apparent on plain radiographs.

11.5 Correlation ofOA Severity andTKA
Outcomes
Although TKA unquestionably can improve pain and function, there remains a subset of patients (up to 20%) who remain dissatised after TKA (Nilsdotter et al.
2009; Woolhead etal. 2005; Beswick etal. 2012). This
group of unsatised patients remains an area of study within the arthroplasty community as we strive to maxi­mize the benet for our patients. Contributing factors that have been found to affect satisfaction postopera­tively include patient-related (psychosocial and medical comorbidities), surgeon/healthcare-related (care access, rehabilitation, expectation management, and intraoper­ative technique such as soft tissue balancing and align­ment), and disease-related (type of arthritis, preoperative severity, and deformity).
> Although there is a poor correlation between clinical
symptoms and radiographic severity of knee osteoar­thritis (Bedson and Croft 2008), recent literature may suggest that radiographic knee osteoarthritis severity correlates to postoperative outcomes after TKA.
A recent meta-analysis concluded that patients with worse radiographic preoperative knee osteoarthritis were more likely to be satised after surgery at nal fol­low- up (Youlden etal. 2019). While patients with worse radiographic osteoarthritis were more satised after TKA, there was no signicant difference in the postop­erative pain or function scores in patients with KL 4
arthritis versus KL<4 arthritis (Youlden etal. 2019). Understanding this possible relationship may play a role in counseling and the management of patient expecta­tions following TKA. Additionally, a thorough preop­erative evaluation of other possible pain generators and trial of conservative management options should be had with patients prior to undergoing TKA.
11.6 Radiographic Evaluation ofTKA
Radiographs following TKA are routinely obtained at follow-up to assess implant position, wear, and xation. A postoperative radiographic series is often similar to a preoperative series though variations in practice exist. For our practice, we typically obtain a standing AP, max exion lateral, and patellofemoral view. For an accurate assessment, the entire component must be visualized including any augments or long stems.
> Images are individually assessed and compared to
prior lms for component alignment and position,
implant–cement and cement–bone interfaces, poly-
ethylene thickness, bone quality, and any progressive
lesions such as osteolytic defects (.
Fig.11.4).
More detailed evaluation for aseptic loosening can be found in 7 Chap. 52. Briey, however, the greatest tool is the evaluation of serial radiographs to look for a change in implant position or progression of radiolu­cent lines (. Fig.11.5).

well-xed arthroplasty; subsequent images demonstrate the forma­tion of radiolucent lines at the bone–implant interface indicative of loosening and then subsequent varus collapse
Unfortunately, there is a relative lack of standardization in the radiographic assessment of total knee implants postoperatively (Elmallah etal. 2015). Although classi­cation systems were proposed in 1989 such as the Knee
Society Total Knee Arthroplasty Roentgenographic Evaluation and Scoring System (Ewald 1989), many revision articles typically only report coronal, sagittal, and axial alignment and then bone loss at the time of

revision. A more recent updated Knee Society scoring system has been created, which we encourage readers to utilize for standardization.
> The Modern Knee Society scoring system (Meneghini
etal. 2015) provides a structured framework to evalu­ate the integrity of total knee prosthesis xation.
Weight-bearing AP, lateral, and patellofemoral views are examined for radiolucent lines at cement–bone and implant–cement interfaces. Additionally, the signi­cance of these radiolucencies depends on whether they are stable or progressive on serial imaging and if they involve the entire contact interface or just part of it. The Modern Knee Society scoring system assesses loosening of a cemented component by breaking the tibia and femur into ve distinct zones and looking for the cumu­lative amount of radiolucency at the prosthetic interface (.
Table 11.3) (Meneghini et al. 2015). Additionally,
component alignment and position are evaluated on each radiographic view. On the weight-bearing PA view, the coronal alignment can be evaluated relative to the anatomic axis of the femur; the coronal alignment of the tibial component can be judged by measuring the angle between the baseplate and the mechanical axis of the tibia. The lateral radiographs are used to evaluate the sagittal alignment of the component. Sagittal tibial component alignment can be determined by measuring the angle between the baseplate and the tibial shaft while the sagittal femoral component position can be mea­sured from the angle between the femoral shaft and a line perpendicular to the most distal xation point of the femoral component. Finally, patellofemoral compo­nent position is assessed by examining subluxation and tilt in the trochlear groove as seen on the Merchant view.
While cement xation remains the gold standard for total knee arthroplasty, interest in cementless implants has been increasing.
> Overall, postoperative evaluation of cementless
implants is similar to that of cemented implants; pro-
viders should assess serial radiographs for signs of
implant loosening such as progressive migration or
radiolucencies.
The appearance of a well-functioning cemented total knee implant may be signicantly different than a well­functioning cementless implant; it is important that the provider be able to recognize these differences as cement­less implants become more common. A recent series of modern cementless total knee implants demonstrated that all patients demonstrated peri-implant radiolucen­cies at the 6-week follow-up with the majority of these on the tibial side. These radiolucencies can persist as long as 1year (the nal follow-up in the study) and are typically small (<2mm), incomplete, and nonprogres­sive (Costales etal. 2020).
11.7 Cross-Sectional andAdvanced
Imaging
11.7.1 Computed Tomography
Routine use of cross-sectional imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imag­ing are not typically used for the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis as X-ray can consistently provide a diag­nosis in most cases and is more readily available and affordable at less radiation risk to the patient.

Conventional CT scans offer no signicant benet over plain radiographs as cartilage is not readily visualized (Blackburn etal. 1996). To overcome this, arthrography with an iodized-based injection may be done to allow for improved visualization of intraarticular structures including cartilage (Carrillon 2008). With this technique, focal cartilage defects and thinning can readily be identi­ed in each of the compartments. Little evidence exists in the current literature examining the efcacy of CT scans in the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis.
> In the postoperative setting, CT scan is most often
used to assess component rotation or to evaluate for fractures around the implant.
11.7.2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Similar to computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging does not play a signicant role in the routine diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis. Although unlike CT scans and plain radiographs, MRI is able to visualize cartilage, it is less readily available, relatively expensive, and does not offer signicant benet for routine diagno­sis. Typically, cartilage is visualized on T2 weighted images with fat suppression where it appears grey in color and can readily be distinguished from subchondral bone which is dark, and synovial uid, which is bright.
> Magnetic resonance imaging may play a role in pre-
operative planning for unicompartmental knee replacements where the clinician will need to deter­mine if the patient truly has arthritis isolated to a single compartment and whether or not they have an intact anterior cruciate ligament.
Radiographic assessment of knee osteoarthritis is typically performed on plain radiographs. For the majority of cases, the standard osteoarthritis X-rays series should be suf­cient enough to make a diagnosis and aid in presurgical planning. Advanced cross- sectional imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging should be used sparingly and for specic cases.
11.7.3 Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine studies including three-phase Technetium- 99m bone scans and tagged white blood cell (WBC) scans are alternative diagnostic tools for implant loosening and infection that are typically used in con-
junction with history, physical exam, and serologies in difcult diagnostic cases.
Technetium-99m is a sensitive marker of bone turn­over, however, since increased bone turnover is seen in cases of implant loosening, tumor, infection, and meta­bolic bone disease, the test is relatively non-specic (Hofmann etal.
1990; Rosenthall etal. 1987; Hill etal.
2019). A recent retrospective study found that
Technetium- 99m bone scans had a positive predictive value of 2.5%, a negative predictive value of 100%, a specicity of 33%, and a sensitivity of 100%, making it relatively poor stand-alone test (Hill et al. 2019). Additionally, increased radionuclide uptake can persist for a year or even longer after an index procedure in patients who are completely asymptomatic (Rosenthall etal. 1987). This is especially true in cementless TKA.
> It has been demonstrated that in asymptomatic
patients, increased Technetium-99m take-up can be
seen at the bone–implant interface in cementless total
knees for up to 4years following the index procedure;
however, rates of uptake typically decrease as time
progresses (Rubello etal. 1996).
Given the excellent negative predictive value of the bone scan, this tool can be useful in ruling out infection or implant loosening if it is negative.
Take-Home Messages
5 Knee osteoarthritis is a clinical diagnosis that is
conrmed on plain radiographs consisting of a series of a exed weight-bearing PA views, lat­eral views, and patellofemoral views.
5 Full-length standing radiographs may be useful
for presurgical planning in patients with lower extremity deformity.
5 Radiographic osteoarthritis severity poorly cor-
relates to pain; however, preoperative radio­graphic osteoarthritis severity inversely correlates to postoperative TKA outcomes.
5 Serial radiographs to check for changes in
implant position or radiolucencies at the bone– cement or cement–implant interface can be use­ful for the diagnosis of implant loosening. Peri-implant radiolucency is common in cement­less TKA; these lucencies can be persistent and asymptomatic.
5 Technetium-99m bone scans have poor specic-
ity but high sensitivity for diagnosing loosening and possibly infection.

12.1 Introduction
Recent emphasis on demonstrating treatment outcomes and “value-based care” in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has led to the development of multiple outcome mea­sures and scoring systems. These may include performance- based objective assessments, patient­reported assessments, or both. As a result of honoring the relative importance of patient satisfaction as com­pared to surgeon satisfaction with treatment results, there has been a shift in orthopedic literature toward patient-reported outcomes (Wright 2009). These patient­reported outcome measures can be generic measures of quality of life or joint-specic. The general health mea­sures evaluate a range of physical and mental parame­ters. A joint-specic measure is focused on issues that are related to a specic joint or injury.
> Most epidemiologists believe that studies should
include general health outcomes in addition to joint­specic ones (Vangsness etal. 1995).
In general, a practical outcome measure should be easy to administer, reliable, valid, and responsive to clinical change (Roos etal. 1998).
5 Reliability refers to the test’s ability to give consistent
and reproducible results under similar testing condi­tions.
5 Validity is the ability of an outcome measure to eval-
uate what it is designed to measure.
5 Responsiveness is the ability to detect change in con-
dition when it occurs.
5 The minimal clinically important difference (MCID)
of an outcome measure is the smallest change in an outcome score that corresponds to a signicant change in a patient’s condition (Beaton etal. 2002; Smith etal. 2012).
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the more com­mon patient-reported outcomes in TKA, including both general health outcome measures and knee-specic mea­sures. It will also serve as an update on some of the newly developed outcome measures. Knowledge of these vari­ous patient-reported outcomes is critical for both researchers involved in designing clinical studies and cli­nicians evaluating the literature on TKA outcomes.
12.2 General Health Outcome Measures
The advantage of a general health outcome measure is that it can be used to compare diseases and conditions across the medical spectrum. This allows researchers to compare the relative impact of treatment on patients despite completely different diagnoses. Patients and cli-
nicians may believe that the general health measure is less relevant to the disease condition in question and that any such measure should be combined with disease­specic outcome measures that have more content and validity for that specic condition (Giesinger etal. 2014).
12.2.1 Medical Outcomes Study
Short-Form (SF-36 andSF-12)
The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form (SF-
36)is one of the most popular general health outcome measures (Ware and Sherbourne 1992). It was devel­oped to assist in health policy development, clinical practice, research, and general population surveys. The SF-36 has been extensively used in numerous publica­tions to measure outcomes of over 130 diseases and con­ditions (Ware 2000).
This questionnaire consists of 35 questions in 8 sub­scale domains (4physical health domains and 4 mental health domains), and one general overall health status question (. weighted, and transformed to fall between 0 (worst pos­sible health and severe disability) and 100 (best possible health, no disability). This was designed so that an aver­age US citizen would score 50 on a subscale. The SF-36 has been validated for a variety of ages and languages, and for patients aged 75 years and older (Weinberger et al. 1991; Jenkinson et al. 1994; Lyons et al. 1994; Perneger etal. 1995; Sullivan etal. 1995).
While the SF-36 has proved to be useful for a variety of diseases, it is too long for inclusion in some large­scale health measurements. Subsequently, the 12-Item Short-Form (SF-12) was developed (. Table 12.1) (Ware etal. 1996). This represented a “downsizing” of the SF-36, including 12 items that reproduced more than 90% of the variance in SF-36 physical health and mental health components, and accurately reproduced the average scores of these measures. The length of this questionnaire reduced the original SF-36 to one to two pages, so that it is sufcient for self-administration in 2minutes or less. In choosing between forms, Ware etal. recommended the use of SF-36 for smaller studies due to its reliability in measuring more levels of health, whereas the SF-12 is recommended in studies with large sample sizes having constraints on questionnaire length and in studies focusing on patient-based assessments of physical and mental health (Ware etal. 1996).
> Webster et al. compared the performance of SF-12
and SF-36in 407 patients who underwent TKA and
found a signicant correlation between both versions
for preoperative and 1-year postoperative measures
(Webster and Feller 2016). The change in score from
pre- to postoperative was also highly correlated.
