KSS

Knee Society ScoreClinical

A clinician- and patient-reported outcome score for knee arthroplasty function and satisfaction.

The KSS is a composite scoring system rating pain, function, and satisfaction after knee arthroplasty, with larger point improvements indicating better perceived outcome. It is commonly used as the functional measure when comparing UKA and TKA, though reported improvement ranges vary widely depending on baseline severity and follow-up length.
