The status of joint awareness after knee replacement surgery was assessed using the Turkish version of the FJS-12 at the final follow-up by telephone interview. Also, The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and The EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) scores were obtained to assess the clinical status of the patients.\n\nResults: The mean follow-up was 2.8 years (range = 24\u201349 months) in the TKA group and 3.2 years (range = 24\u201350 months) in the UKA group. The FJS-12 was significantly higher in the UKA group (73.60 \u00b1 9.95) than in the TKA group (64.88 \u00b1 9.47) (P = .001). The WOMAC score was significantly better in the UKA group (81.39 \u00b1 9.84) than in the TKA group (74.92 \u00b1 9.99) (P = .001). No significant difference in EQ-5D existed between the groups (0.76 \u00b1 0.14 for the TKA group, 0.79 \u00b1 0.17 for the UKA group; P = .441). In terms of gender, the FJS-12 showed no differences between the groups; however, more favorable scores were recorded in younger patients with UKA.\n\nConclusion: The results of this study have demonstrated that UKA may be better than TKA in terms of the patient perception of pain, stiffness, and physical functioning.\n\nLevel of Evidence: Level IV, Therapeutic Study\n\nCite this article as: Ate\u015f Y, Akdo\u011fan M, Atilla HA.
