Knee Replacement Outcomes: Understanding Your Results

Mr. Walsh wants you to feel reassured and confident about your outcomes from knee replacement surgery, and he is pleased to share his data from My Clinical Outcomes in partnership with Circle Health. They utilize the Oxford Knee Score to demonstrate improvements from your surgery, employing a trusted questionnaire that patients complete to evaluate their pain levels and ability to perform everyday activities.

The Oxford Knee Score ranges from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating better knee function and less pain.

What the scores generally mean:

0 – 19: Severe knee problems

20 – 29: Moderate to severe knee problems

30 – 39: Mild to moderate knee problems

40 – 48: Excellent knee function

Our Patients’ Results From our latest clinical review highlight the knee surgery results:

Before surgery (pre-operative):

Average Oxford Knee Score = 23.01 (based on 469 patients)

This reflects moderate to severe knee pain and difficulty with daily activities, typical for patients seeking knee solutions.

12 months after surgery:

Average Oxford Knee Score = 40.95 (based on 169 patients who returned for follow-up)

This is in the excellent range, showing that most patients experience significantly less pain and greatly improved function.

This represents an average improvement of almost 18 points—a change widely recognized as very meaningful for patients.
