Abstract
Patellar tendon (PT) and quadriceps tendon (QT) ruptures represent significant injuries and warrant surgical intervention in most patients. Outcome data are predominantly retrospective analyses with low sample sizes. There are also minimal data comparing QT and PT repairs and the variables impacting patient outcomes. The level of evidence of the study is level II (prognosis). From the prospective OME cohort, 189 PT or QT repairs were performed between February 2015 and October 2019. Of these, 178 were successfully enrolled (94.2%) with 1-year follow-up on 141 (79.2%). Baseline demographic data included age, sex, race, BMI, years of education, smoking status, and baseline VR-12 MCS score. Surgical and follow-up data included surgeon volume, fixation technique, baseline, and 1-year Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Pain (KOOS-Pain), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function (KOOS-PS), and 1-year Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) scores and complications. Multivariable regression analysis was utilized to identify prognosis and significant risk factors for outcomes-specifically, whether KOOS-Pain or KOOS-PS were different between QT versus PT repairs. There were 59 patients in the PT cohort and 82 patients in QT cohort. Baseline demographic data demonstrated that PT cohort was younger (45.1 vs. 59.5 years, p <0.001), included significantly fewer patients of White race (51.7 vs. 80.0%, p = 0.001), lesser number of years of education (13.9 vs. 15.2 years, p = 0.020), a higher percentage of "high" surgeon volume (72.9% vs. 43.9%, p = 0.001) and 25.4% of PT repairs had supplemental fixation (QT had zero, p <0.001). Multivariable analysis identified gender (female-worse, p = 0.001), years of education (higher-better, p = 0.02), and baseline KOOS-Pain score (higher-better, p <0.001) as the risk factors that significantly predicted KOOS-Pain score. The risk factors that significantly predicted KOOS-PS were gender (female worse, p = 0.033), race (non-White-worse, p <0.001), baseline VR-12 MCS score (higher-better, p <0.001), and baseline KOOS-PS score (higher better, p = 0.029). KOOS-Pain and KOOS-PS scores improved after both QT and PT repairs. Patient reported pain and function at 1 year were similar between PT and QT repairs after adjusting for known risk factors. Multivariable analysis identified female gender and low baseline KOOS scores as predictors for worse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome measures are commonly used to measure knee pain and functional impairment. When structural abnormality is identified on examination and imaging, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and chondroplasty are commonly indicated for treatment in the setting of pain and decreased function. PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between patient characteristics, mental health, intraoperative findings, and patient-reported outcome measures at the time of knee arthroscopy. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Between February 2015 and October 2016, patients aged 40 years and older who were undergoing routine knee arthroscopy for meniscal and cartilage abnormality, without reconstructive or restorative procedures, were prospectively enrolled in this study. Routine demographic information was collected, and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Pain, Quality of Life (QoL), and Physical Function Short Form (PS) subscales and the mental and physical component subscales of the Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12 MCS and VR-12 PCS) were administered preoperatively on the day of surgery. Intraoperative findings were collected in a standardized format. Patient demographics, intraoperative findings, and the VR-12 MCS were used as predictor values, and a multivariate analysis was conducted to assess for relationships with the KOOS and VR-12 as dependent variables. RESULTS Of 661 eligible patients, baseline patient-reported outcomes and surgical data were used for 638 patients (97%). Lower scores on both subscales of the VR-12 were predicted by female sex, positive smoking history, fewer years of education, and higher body mass index (BMI). All KOOS subscales were negatively affected by lower VR-12 MCS scores, female sex, lower education level, and higher BMI in a statistically meaningful way. Positive smoking history was associated with worse scores on the KOOS-PS. Abnormal synovial status was associated with worse KOOS-Pain. CONCLUSION The demographic factors of sex, smoking status, BMI, and education level had an overwhelming impact on preoperative KOOS and VR-12 scores. Of interest, mental health as assessed by the VR-12 MCS was also a consistent predictor of KOOS scores. The only intraoperative finding with a significant association was abnormal synovial status and its effect on KOOS-Pain scores.
