A retrospective one-time evaluation of total knee patients one year or more postoperative, to compare antero-posterior (AP) stability with the TELOS Stress device/stress x-rays and clinical outcomes. Multiple implant brand/models will be included in the study.

Antero-posterior stability of the knee measured with stress x-rays using the TELOS Stress device in 45° and 90° flexion

Measurement of antero-posterior stability of the knee with stress x-rays.
Antero-posterior stability of the knee will be measured with stress x-rays using the TELOS Stress device in 45° and 90° flexion. Stress x-rays will be obtained during a single visit for subjects 1 year or greater post-operatively.
Time frame: 1 year post-operative
Knee Society Score (KSS)
Clinical outcomes will be evaluated via the Knee Society Score (KSS) obtained during a single visit for subjects 1 year or greater post-operatively. The KSS is subdivided into a Knee Assessment score which rates only the knee joint itself, and a Functional Assessment score which rates the subject's ability to walk and climb stairs. Both scores range from 0-100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.
Time frame: 1 year post-operative
Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS)
Clinical outcomes will be evaluated via the Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS) obtained during a single visit for subjects 1 year or greater post-operatively. The LEAS scale range is 1-18, with a higher value indicating a higher level of activity.
Time frame: 1 year post-operative
Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)
Clinical outcomes will be evaluated via the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) obtained during a single visit for subjects 1 year or greater post-operatively. The FJS total score range is 0-100, with higher scores indicating a higher degree of "forgetting" the artificial joint, that is, a lower degree of awareness.
Time frame: 1 year post-operative
