SF-36 Physical Component Score Is Predictive of Achieving a Clinically Meaningful Improvement after Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Femur.

For this cohort of 91 patients, the preoperative SF-36 PCS and lesion size were predictive of achievement of the MCID at 2-year follow-up after femoral OCA transplantation. These findings support an important role of baseline physical health scores for predicting which patients will obtain a meaningful clinical benefit from this surgery.
