general health outcome survey. The results of the VR-12 are summarized as two scores - a Mental Component Score (MCS) and a Physical Component Score (PCS). The scores may be reported as Z-scores (difference compared to the population average, measured in standard deviations). The United States population average PCS and MCS are both 50 points. The United States population standard deviation is 10 points. Therefore, each increment of 10 points above or below 50 corresponds to one standard deviation away from the population average.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 week and 6 month after surgery date

Population: There was patient drop out between 6 week and 6 month time points, which is why there are fewer patients at the 6 month time point. Additionally, at the 6 month mark we have HOOS outcome scores for a higher number of patients than we have this secondary outcome measures due to incomplete final capture of information at this time point.

Number of patient using a topical nonsteroidal medication is listed here.
