Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the reliability and responsiveness of the IKDC SKF compared to other knee-specific outcome measures in patients with cartilage lesions.
Compared IKDC SKF with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Modified Cincinnati Knee Rating System, and Short Form 36.
Included patients undergoing articular cartilage surgery.
Analyzed outcomes related to symptoms and daily function.
IKDC SKF showed comparable reliability to other measures in assessing knee function.
The instrument effectively measures symptoms and daily activities in patients undergoing surgery.
IKDC SKF is recommended as a suitable alternative for tracking recovery in these patients.

Abstract

The reliability and responsiveness of the IKDC SKF is comparable with other commonly used patient-reported outcome measures for patients with articular cartilage lesions. The IKDC SKF is a suitable alternative to other commonly used knee-specific instruments for measuring symptoms, daily function, and level of symptom-free sports activity in patients undergoing articular cartilage surgery.
