PRoKPath is the clinical quality registry (self-reported) for privately consulting knee surgeon, Mr Tim Lording. This registry currently collects clinical history, treatment characteristics, and functional and patient-reported outcomes from patients undergoing treatment for knee conditions including osteoarthritis, rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments, and conditions involving other structures of the knee joint. As the participants progress through the treatment pathway, their outcomes are assessed against pre-determined ‘failure to cure’ criteria, consisting of a combination of validated outcome measures and clinically relevant improvement thresholds (eg. minimum clinically important differences). The overall aim of the registry is to evaluate the current standard of care, and to inform evidence-based changes in clinical practice.
