Prospective, Randomized, Double Blinded Trial Comparing Clinical, Radiological and Laboratory Outcomes in prevention of infection after Total Knee Arthroplasty With or Without Vancomycin.
Infection after surgery is one of the most common complication after total knee replacement. Our prospective randomized study is intended to show if addition of vancomycin to the joint before the wound closure will decrease infection after operation.

Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score
Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score; KOOS is intended to be used for knee injury that can result in post traumatic osteoarthritis (OA); KOOS has high test-retest reliability. In patients with knee injury, ICCs for the Pain subscale range from 0.85-0.93, the Symptoms subscale from 0.83-0.95, the ADL subscale from 0.75-0.91, the Sport/Rec subscale from 0.61-0.89 and the QOL subscale from 0.83-0.95. In patients with knee OA, ICCs for the Pain subscale range from 0.8-0.97, the Symptoms subscale from 0.74-0.94, the ADL subscale from 0.84-0.94, the Sport/Rec subscale from 0.65-0.92 and the QOL subscale from 0.6-0.91 (4).

Visual analog Scale
Pain Visual Analog Scale The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity. The most simple VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health)\[8\] orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).
