Knee arthroplasty decision tool

These are 2 tools that I use frequently as a decision tool for knee arthroplasty and to communicate risk versus benefit:

  1. National joint registry patient decision tool
NJR Patient decision support tool for arthroplasty

2. Arthroplasty Candidacy Help Engine tool to select candidates for hip and knee replacement surgery

Graph displays predicted probability of achieving a meaningful improvement following total knee arthroplasty (defined as 7-point Oxford Knee Score improvement) based on pre-op Oxford Knee Score.
