AbstractThe aim of this study was to verify the single-factor structure of the joint replacement version of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-JR) and examine its measurement properties in the context of Rasch analysis in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA) awaiting total knee replacement (TKR). The study design was retrieval of prospectively collected clinical data. The data were extracted from the presurgery visit for individuals with KOA who were scheduled for primary TKR at a tertiary care hospital. Those who were scheduled for revision of TKR had any other lower extremity injury or surgery during 6 months prior to the presurgery visit, or those who had reported pre-existing neurological impairments affecting the lower extremity functions were excluded during data extraction. The assumptions of Rasch analysis that were examined included the test of fit, fit of residuals, ordering of item thresholds, Pearson separation index, differential item functioning (DIF), dependency, and unidimensionality. The main outcome measure was KOOS-JR. Data were extracted for 283 patients, including 112 men and 160 women, from clinical charts. The KOOS-JR demonstrated good overall fit to the Rasch model. However, it failed to meet the assumption of unidimensionality. None of the items demonstrated DIF or concerns with response thresholds. Person–item threshold distribution indicated that the score for KOOS-JR overestimated person traits with floor and ceiling effects. Reliability statistics were equal to 0.9, suggesting that seven items within the KOOS-JR were internally consistent and reliable. The hypothetical unidimensional KOOS-JR could not be reproduced in our sample in that KOOS-JR had a latent construct. Future research should perform exploratory factor analysis to examine this latent construct.

Total knee arthroplasty is mostly done to relieve pain and disability from a severe and degenerated knee. Deformities in the coronal and sagittal plane could be corrected with the help of cuts made in tibia and femur during total knee replacement as well as with ligament release. However, large deformities in the lower extremity particularly in the diaphysis region need correction prior to the total knee replacement. It helps to limit the amount of bone that will be cut and helps the ligament release. Several extra articular and intra-articular methods for the correction of diaphyseal deformity have been described. We present the case of clamshell osteotomy for the correction of diaphyseal deformity in the tibia and a total knee replacement after the osteotomy site healed.
