Abstract

PURPOSE: Lower-limb muscle mass reduction and fatty degeneration develop in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and could affect their symptoms, satisfaction, expectation and functional activities. The Knee Society Scoring System (KSS) includes patient reported outcome measures, which is widely used to evaluate the status of knee function of KOA. This study aimed to clarify how muscle mass and fatty degeneration of the lower limb correlate with the KSS in patients with KOA.
