Correlation Between Functional Scores and Objective Gait Parameters Following Rotating Hinge Knee Megaprosthesis Reconstruction

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the relationship between functional scores and gait parameters after rotating hinge knee megaprosthesis reconstruction.
Analyzed correlations between three scoring systems and various gait parameters
Included patients who underwent rotating hinge knee reconstruction
Compared the effectiveness of TESS against other functional scores.
All scoring systems showed correlations with gait parameters
TESS displayed stronger and more consistent correlations than other scores
TESS is suggested as a more accurate measure of gait recovery.

Abstract

All three scoring systems showed correlations with multiple key gait parameters in patients who underwent RHK. However, TESS demonstrated stronger and more consistent correlations and therefore appeared to be a more representative score of gait recovery.
