A new total knee rating system has been developed by The Knee Society to provide an up-to-date more stringent evaluation form. The system is subdivided into a knee score that rates only the knee joint itself and a functional score that rates the patient's ability to walk and climb stairs. The dual rating system eliminates the problem of declining knee scores associated with patient infirmity.

      Agreement among clinical assessment scales for knee replacement surgery
      TLDR
      The ‘performance variability’ of 15 different assessment systems after knee replacement was analyzed and the notion that different knee evaluation systems measure different underlying factors was supported. Expand
      The New Knee Society Knee Scoring System
      TLDR
      The new Knee Society Knee Scoring System has been developed and validated, in part, to better characterize the expectations, satisfaction, and physical activities of the younger and more diverse population of current patients undergoing TKA. Expand
      Development of a New Knee Society Scoring System
      TLDR
      The new Knee Society Scoring System is a validated instrument based on surgeon- and patient-generated data, adapted to the diverse lifestyles and activities of contemporary patients with TKA, and allows surgeons to appreciate differences in the priorities of individual patients. Expand
      Rating systems for total knee replacement.
      TLDR
      Overall, the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, Short Form 36 and Oxford Knee Score have undergone the most thorough assessment of reliability and validity and are therefore appropriate for the assessment of outcome after total knee replacement. Expand
      The need for a dual rating system in total knee arthroplasty.
      TLDR
      There is a need for additional improvement of total knee arthroplasty rating such as patient based evaluation and establishing reliability and validity of ratings as the dual Knee Society rating system does. Expand
      French adaptation of the new Knee Society Scoring System for total knee arthroplasty.
      TLDR
      The French cross-cultural adaptation of the new KSS score found that the score could discriminate between groups; it had a nearly 100% response rate, a ceiling effect in the "expectations" domain, satisfactory Chronbach's alpha, excellent reproducibility and good responsiveness. Expand
      Total knee replacement — what's the score? An assessment of current methods of audit
      TLDR
      Evaluated methods of audit for total knee replacement with particular reference to reproducibility and reliability when knees are compared using different systems showed significant differences between systems. Expand
      Cost-benefit comparison of the Oxford Knee score and the American Knee Society score in measuring outcome of total knee arthroplasty.
      TLDR
      There was good correlation of OKS and AKSS at 2 years, which implies that patient self-assessment is a viable screening tool to identify which patients require clinical review, at 1 years, after TKA, but the moderate correlation at 5 and 10 years indicates that clinical evaluation remains necessary at these time points.

      WOMAC, EQ-5D and Knee Society Score Thresholds for Treatment Success After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
      Our study aimed at developing clinical thresholds (cut-off scores) for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, EQ-5D and Knee Society Score for discriminating… Expand
      The patient acceptable symptom state for the knee society score, oxford knee score and short form-36 following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
      TLDR
      The PASS thresholds for generic and knee-specific PROMs at 2 years after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are defined to define treatment success in future outcome studies. Expand
