THE PREOPERATIVE OXFORD KNEE SCORE IS AN INDEPENDENT PREDICTOR OF ACHIEVING A POSTOPERATIVE CEILING SCORE AFTER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

Background: The primary aim of this study was to assess whether the postoperative Oxford knee score (OKS) demonstrated a ceiling effect at one and/or two years after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The secondary aim was to identify preoperative independent predictors for patients that achieved a ceiling OKS.
