Time frame: Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery on the 0-100 scale.

Knee flexion strength of affected leg (Newton meters per kilogram)

Maximal knee flexion strength of affected leg expressed as newton meters per kilogram, measured with a handheld dynamometer

Time frame: Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery

Hip extension strength of affected leg (Newton meters per kilogram)

Maximal hip extension strength of affected leg expressed as newton meters per kilogram, measured with a handheld dynamometer

Time frame: Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery

Overall health

0-100 continuous scale (0 worst imaginable health, 100 best imaginable health)

Time frame: Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery on the 0-100 scale
