Purpose

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful surgeries with respect to relieving pain and restoring function of the knee. However, some studies have reported that patients are not always satisfied with their results after TKA. The aim of this study was to determine which factors contribute to patient's satisfaction after TKA.

Methods

We evaluated 69 patients who had undergone 76 primary TKAs between March 2012 and June 2013, and assessed patient- and physician- reported scores using the 2011 Knee Society Scoring System and clinical variables before and after TKAs. We determined the correlation between patient satisfaction and clinical variables.
