End-stage KOA results in limitations in activities of daily life (ADL), work and leisure. Treatment for KOA is a stepped care process starting with a conservative approach and in which joint replacement surgery can be considered as the last step. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is regarded as the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA). In 2020, 19.501 TKA surgeries were performed in The Netherlands, end-stage KOA being (97%) the most common reason for surgery. Until now no risk inventory prediction models have been made for the prediction of physical function at six weeks after TKA. These models may help to distinguish between having a high risk or low risk on a delayed recovery of physical function at six weeks after TKA. This could be beneficial for patients with a high risk. Because than the perioperative process of this patientgroup can be optimized and improved.
