RECRUITINGradiographical images
take stress x-rays (150 N) of the knee using TELOS to objectively and reproducibly analyze the lift-off (distance between the prosthetic component femoral and the tibial prosthetic component measured in mm)
Time frame: at baseline, after 3 months, after 6 months anfer 12 months
Hip-Knee-Anke Angle
Hip-Knee-Anke Angle (HKA) on orthostatic panoramic radiographs of the pre- and post-operative lower limbs of the knee.
Time frame: at baseline, after 3 months, after 6 months anfer 12 months
Visual Analogue Scale
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain: a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain ever
Time frame: at baseline, after 3 months, after 6 months anfer 12 months
