    About 20% of patients remain dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty, primarily due to persistent pain and limited function.

  • 2

    Customised individually made (CIM) TKAs aim to improve patient satisfaction by addressing anatomical variability and enhancing knee kinematics.

  • 3

    Conflicting evidence exists regarding the clinical outcomes of CIM versus off-the-shelf (OTS) TKAs, highlighting the need for better studies.

  • 4

    This study compares patient-reported outcome measures and satisfaction between CIM and OTS TKAs in a matched-pair analysis over two years.

  • 5

    The primary outcome measured was patient satisfaction on a five-point Likert scale, with secondary outcomes including various PROMs.
