%X Objective: Patient-based outcome measures are actively utilized within the subjective health status and functional status of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between existing Knee Society Score(KSS), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) and to evaluate their correlation with each other as well as to evaluate their measurement capabilities. Materials and Methods: In the study, we have retrospectively evaluated 43 healthy knees and 43 operated knees of a total of 43 patients with Schatzker type 2 and type 3 tibial plateau fractures that were treated surgically between July 2010 and March 2016 in our clinic. Patients were evaluated weekly with SF-36 General Physical Functional Score and also with the WOMAC, KSS and KOOS scoring systems, which are scoring systems that are used to address specifically the problems with the knee joint. Result and Conclusion: The KSS Functional Score and the KOOS Daily Functional Score were found to be reliable for the functional evaluation of the knee joint. We believe that the numerical scoring system used by WOMAC Functional Scoring causes distraction and we believe that the measurement effectiveness is reduced as a result. As a result of this study, we think that we need to be very careful when selecting and using evaluation scales where the responses are first matched to numerical values
