Patients who undergo primary Total Knee Replacement surgery (TKR) are often discharged within 1-3 days after surgery. With this relatively short length of hospital stay, a patient's self-management is crucial factor in optimizing the outcome their treatment. In case TKR, primarily involves adequate pain management, followed by physiotherapy exercises and daily self-care activities. educated on all these topics staff upon discharge from but struggle to comprehend information due its quantity,...
Modern health care focuses on shared decision making (SDM) because of its positive effects patient satisfaction, therapy compliance, and outcomes. Patients' knowledge about their illness available treatment options, gained through medical education, is one the key drivers for SDM. Current education relies heavily consultation known to be ineffective.This study aimed determine whether providing patients with information in a subdivided, categorized, interactive manner via an educational app...
Aims In order to prevent dislocation of the hip after total arthroplasty (THA), patients have adhere precautions in early post-operative period. The hypothesis this study was that a protocol with minimal primary THA using posterolateral approach would not increase short-term (less than three months) risk dislocation. Patients and Methods We prospectively monitored group unselected undergoing managed standard (n = 109, median age 68.9 years; interquartile range (IQR) 61.2 77.3) who were fewer...
Abstract: We retrospectively evaluated 12 patients with lateral gonarthritis after a distal femoral opening osteotomy using Puddu-plate. Thirteen and genu valgum were operated upon. One patient died during follow-up. used the Lysholm score adapted Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) clinical functional score. At 34 months follow up, all had evaluation. All responded to questionnaire over telephone regarding survival, Lysholm, HSS at 74 The average age operation was 52 years. correction angle...
Purpose Three out of ten patients do not return to work after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patient expectations are suggested play a key role. What patients' regarding the ability perform work-related knee-demanding activities 6 months TKA compared their preoperative status? Methods A multi-center cross-sectional study was performed among 292 working listed for TKA. The Work Osteoarthritis or joint-Replacement Questionnaire (WORQ, range 0–100, minimal important difference 13) used assess...
Background and purpose — Machine learning (ML) techniques are a form of artificial intelligence able to analyze big data. Analyzing the outcome (digital) questionnaires, ML might recognize different patterns in answers that relate types pathology. With this study, we investigated proof-of-principle ML-based diagnosis patients with hip complaints using digital questionnaire Kellgren Lawrence (KL) osteoarthritis score. Patients methods 548 (> 55 years old) scheduled for consultation were...
Background: To prevent early postoperative dislocation following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure, patients must adhere to restrictions. Restrictive protocols are common if THA surgery is performed using the posterior approach, but scientific evidence form larger studies that supports these restrictions scarce. In this large cohort study we compare <90-days rate between receiving approach managed with minimal versus extensive Methods: Prospective ( n = 1049) of consecutive...
The aim of this study is to investigate whether total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who consulted an occupational medicine specialist (OMS) within 3 months after surgery, return work (RTW) earlier than did not consult OMS.
To investigate whether preoperative expectations regarding performing work-related knee-straining activities were associated with being dissatisfied 6 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among working patients, and, to identify prognostic factors for these activities.
Background: Consistent pain control after total joint replacement (TJR) has not yet been reached in all patients managed with a multimodal analgesia regime. Questions remain on dosage and timing of analgesics. Glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone are considered most powerful reducing the surgery-induced inflammatory response studies using 6–12 mg dose. Reviews agree that additional glucocorticoids may provide more analgesia, but dose-finding analysis is limited. The primary aim this study...
Purpose Recent studies of metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) using metal-artefact-reducing-sequence software for magnetic resonance Imaging (MARS-MRI) have revealed remarkable soft tissue pathology around the hip, usually referred to as pseudotumours. Case reports describe identical in non-MoM THA, but descriptive overviews MRI abnormalities patients with prosthesis are scarce. Methods A clinical study a cohort 50 ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP) THA selected high risk...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more powerful but barely used to counter the growth in health care burden. AI applications increase efficiency orthopedics are rare. We questioned if (1) we could train machine learning (ML) algorithms, based on answers from digitalized history taking questionnaires, predict treatment of hip osteoartritis (either conservative or surgical); (2) such an algorithm streamline clinical consultation. Multiple ML models were trained 600 annotated (80%...
Abstract Introduction Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is increasingly performed on working patients, but only 65% return to work (RTW). This study aims identify recovery trajectories for performing work-related activities and their association with time RTW. Methods A multicenter prospective cohort was among TKA patients. The Work Osteoarthritis or Joint-Replacement Questionnaire (WORQ) used assess the difficulty in (0-100 scale, minimal clinically important change MIC=13). Trajectories were...
