This research study is tracking patients who are on a waiting list for knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to understand how the length of time patients wait for surgery affects their pain levels, ability to move, and overall quality of life. The study is happening at multiple hospitals and will help doctors learn whether long wait times (currently around 7 months) cause patients' conditions to worsen.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, surgery waiting lists have grown much longer than before—from 2–3 months to about 7 months in some hospitals. Doctors and researchers want to know if this extended waiting period is making patients' knee pain worse and affecting their daily activities and well-being.

As a participant, you would continue with your normal care while on the surgery waiting list. The research team will check in with you at regular intervals to ask about your pain levels, how well you can move and function, and how your knee condition is affecting your daily life and well-being. You'll complete questionnaires and share information about your symptoms until you have your surgery.
