Patients were asked to complete the KOOS, Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation, Pain Visual Analog Scale, Marx Activity Rating Scale, and Veterans RAND 12\u2010Item Health Survey preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Changes in patient\u2010reported outcomes over time were assessed with repeated\u2010measures analysis of variance. Additionally, we quantified the number of patients who met PASS thresholds for KOOS subscales 12 months postoperatively. To determine if patient demographic or surgical variables were predictive of a patient achieving KOOS Pain PASS, a binary logistic regression was done.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty\u2010nine patients with complete pre\u2010 and postoperative data were identified and included in the analyses (35 women\/4 men, mean age\u2009=\u200931.4 years, mean body mass index\u2009=\u200926.5).
