Abstract
This reply addresses Wang et al.'s comments on our prior work and clarifies that the 34.5-point Knee Society Score threshold was derived from our previously validated, anchor-based approach. We agree that future research should refine predictive models by establishing consensus, standardised minimal clinically important difference cutoffs to enhance applicability and reliability in real-world clinical settings.
