The objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available MPS-Flex® Total Knee Joint Prostheses used in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
This is a retrospective and prospective, multi-centre, post-market clinical follow-up study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in TKA and experienced implanting the devices included in this study. Patient demographic and operative information will be collected retrospectively. Postoperative clinical outcome, radiographic assessment and adverse events will be collected prospectively starting from the first year of postoperative follow up visit. All study subjects have undergone routine preoperative clinical evaluations prior to their THA, and implanted MPS-Flex® Total Knee Joint Prostheses in accordance to indications and intended use, and appropriate surgical technique(s) will be invited to participate in the study at their first year of postoperative follow up visit, and sign ICF.

Functional outcome based on Knee Society Score
The Knee Society Scoring System combines an objective physician-derived component with a subjective patient-derived component that evaluates pain relief, functional abilities, satisfaction, and fulfillment of expectations. It consists of four subscales: (1) Objective Knee Score (seven items; 100 points), (2) Satisfaction Score (five items; 40 points), (3) Expectation Score (three items; 15 points), and (4) Functional Activity Score (19 items; 100 points).
Time frame: 10 years
Quality of life based on EQ-5D questionnaire
EQ-5D is a standardized measure of health-related quality of life states consisting of 5 dimensions, namely mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D-5L version was used in the study. Each dimension has 5 responses recording 5 levels of severity (no problems/slight problems/moderate problems/severe problems or extreme problems). The responses to the EQ-5D dimensions are used to obtain a single EQ-5D index value where 1 represents full health and 0 represents death. The questionnaire also includes a vertical, visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) for the respondents to record their self-rated health where the 2 extreme ends of the scale are labelled as 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state' respectively.
