Development of a Knee Scoring Scale

Abstract

Two knee scoring scales have been tested against post-osteotomy knees for degeneration arthritis and post-arthroplasty knees (McIntosh Operation) and were found to be acceptable for both conditions. Scoring Scale I was slightly better than Scale II. This scale should be tested on other types of knee reconstruction. Modifications in this scale may be needed in the future in an effort to produce as near perfect an objective knee function scoring method as is possible.
