What this Trial Is About
Researchers are collecting detailed information on patients visiting the Mobility Clinic at the University Medical Center Utrecht who receive orthopedic treatment for knee conditions such as knee pathology, osteoarthritis, osteochondritis dissecans, and cartilage defects. This observational registry aims to gather patient characteristics, treatment details, and responses to questionnaires about knee function, pain, and mobility to support future research questions. The registry includes all patients undergoing various orthopedic knee treatments, including surgery and conservative care like physiotherapy or injections, at the clinic. Participants complete questionnaires before treatment and at multiple points after treatment, such as 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, with annual follow-up up to 20 years. The study collects data on many measures, including quality of life, pain scales, knee function scores, healthcare use, and costs. Participants provide information through questionnaires and clinical data collected at baseline and during follow-up visits. The study measures changes in knee function, pain, and quality of life over time using tools like the KOOS, IKDC, SF-36, and various pain scales. This long-term follow-up allows researchers to monitor outcomes for up to 20 years. Participation involves minimal burden, mainly the time needed to complete questionnaires, and does not affect usual care.
