The predictive effect of Kellgren-Lawrence grade and joint space height on pain and functional outcome

In this large single-center cohort, comprehensive clinical and radiographic data were analyzed using advanced statistical methods. Our findings support previous evidence suggesting that comparatively less severe radiographic OA is associated with less favorable outcomes after TKA. However, the limited predictive capacity of the models highlights the multifactorial nature of postoperative outcomes and the challenges faced in forecasting patient-reported results following TKA.
