| Popis: | Introduction: Some patients with cartilage defects of the knee are known to report similar quality of life (QoL) scores to patients listed for total knee arthroplasty. However, it is unknown whether patients waiting to undergo injections for a cartilage injury perceive their symptoms and QoL to be equivalent to those awaiting surgery. Objectives: Compare the pretreatment status of patients undergoing a knee injection or surgical intervention for cartilage lesions. The hypothesis was that there would be no clinical difference in scores between the 2 cohorts. Methods: Anonymous data from the International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Society Registry were exported: demographics, type of intervention, pretreatment Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) and Visual Analog Scores (VAS). The required sample size was 273 per cohort. Statistical analyses were used to compare the scores of each cohort (α = 0.05). Results: One thousand five hundred seventy-eight patients were included (993 surgeries vs 585 injections). The surgical cohort was 30 years younger than the injection cohort (P |
