Objective[edit | edit source]

The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) has been developed and validated to measure pain and function after total knee replacement.

The OKS is a patient reported outcome measure that consists of 12 questions on activities of daily living and how they are affected by pain.

Questions[edit | edit source]
