There were significant associations between the PTs' prognosis and disability, pain, health-related quality of life and global perceived effect one-year post-surgery, although the associations had low predictive values. There was no significant association between the PTs' prognosis and patients' SSO after one year. The PTs' prognosis should not be used as a single component in further rehabilitation planning.
