Scar Cosmesis Assessment
Validated tool to assess the quality of postoperative scars in clinical and research settings. Scores range from 4 (best) to 14 (worst). Due to the lack of subjects and study data, only the value recorded at the final study visit was analyzed for each subject. The average score for each study arm was then calculated with the available data.
Time frame: Long Term Follow-up occurring 77-91 days after bilateral TKA procedure
Average Pain in Each Leg in the Last 24 Hours
The average pain in each leg in the last 24 hours, using an NPRS (numerical pain rating scale) of 0-10. 0 represents No Pain with 10 representing Extremely Painful. Due to the lack of subjects and study data, only the last recorded pain value was analyzed for each subject. The average score for each study arm was then calculated with the available data.
Time frame: End of Treatment Visit occurring 12-14 days after bilateral TKA procedure
Worst Pain in Each Leg in the Last 24 Hours
The worst pain in each leg in the last 24 hours, using an NPRS of 0-10. 0 represents No Pain with 10 representing Extremely Painful. Due to the lack of subjects and study data, only the last recorded pain value was analyzed for each subject. The average score for each study arm was then calculated with the available data.
Time frame: End of Treatment Visit occurring 12-14 days after bilateral TKA procedure
