Primary Outcome Measures

Difference in the Mean VAS Pain Score Between Subjects Receiving LCS Complete Duofix™ and Porocoat® Knee Systems at 12 Months.
The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score asks the subject to place a vertical mark anywhere on a horizontal line (that is approximately 10 cm long) with 'No pain' listed on the left (scored as 0) and 'Very severe pain' labeled on the right (scored as 10). The subject is instructed to indicate the amount of pain they feel in their knee joint

Secondary Outcome Measures

Comparative Evaluation of Any Variability in Functional Recovery Using the Oxford Knee Score Between Subjects Receiving LCS Complete Duofix™ and Porocoat® Knee Systems at Pre-op.
The Oxford Knee Score questionnaire consists of 12 questions each with a choice of responses and is designed to evaluate the subjects' perception of the condition and functionality of their affected joint and the impact that it has on their normal daily activities. Overall scores range from 0 (most severe symptoms) to 48 (least symptoms) with 48 being the best outcome.
