Overview

The aim of our study is to add to the literature the effect of the effectiveness of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation in the clinic, which will be applied to the patients after the osteochondral allograft transplantation operation, which is a current treatment approach applied after knee cartilage tissue damage, on the range of motion, functionality, pain and muscle strength of the patients during the recovery process. The clinical importance of our aim is that it will have the potential to guide health professionals in determining the appropriate treatment approach in order to reveal the best results that can be obtained due to the lack of many studies in the literature on the treatment of patients after osteochondral allograft surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

KOOS

Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS): A health measure used to evaluate knee injuries and knee-related conditions such as osteoarthritis. The KOOS comes in a widely used questionnaire format to assess patients' knee function, pain, quality of life, and other symptoms. By measuring problems in subcategories such as pain, symptoms, quality of life, functional limitations, and sports/dialysis activities, it provides healthcare professionals with an important tool to monitor patients' response to treatment, evaluate treatment plans, and understand patients' quality of life.

Time frame: 6 months

Oxford Knee Scale

The Oxford Knee Score (ODS) is a valid and reliable questionnaire with a Turkish version that allows individuals with knee OA to assess their own function and pain. It is scored on a Likert scale from 0 (absent) to 4 (severe) (0-48). In this questionnaire consisting of 12 questions, questions 2, 3, 7, 11 and 12 assess functional status; questions 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 assess pain-related status. Scores from ODS pain questions range from 0 to 28 points, with the lowest score being 0 and the highest score being 28. Scores from ODS function 30 parameters range from 0 to 20 points, with the lowest score being 0 and the highest score being 20. High scores indicate worse functional status and pain.
