Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify unique clinical phenotypes of hip osteoarthritis (OA) using a biopsychosocial approach, analyzing data from 143 individuals awaiting total hip arthroplasty.
- - Researchers assessed various factors, including demographics, pain-related thoughts, mental health, social support, and pain/disability measures to classify participants into two clinical phenotypes: maladaptive and adaptive.
- - The maladaptive phenotype (34% of participants) was characterized by higher comorbidities, anxiety, and pain-related fears, leading to increased levels of pain and disability; this classification method has an accuracy of 87.8%, aiding in the development of personalized treatment plans.
Background: Large heterogeneity exists in the clinical manifestation of hip osteoarthritis (OA). It is therefore not surprising that pain and disability in individuals with hip OA and after total hip arthroplasty (THA) cannot be explained by biomedical variables alone. Indeed, also maladaptive pain-related cognitions and emotions can contribute to pain and disability, and can lead to poor treatment outcomes.

This systematic review aimed to determine the association between contextual factors and outcomes in the activity and participation domain after THA for hip osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: This systematic review was developed according to the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews.
Objectives: The Fear-Avoidance Components Scale (FACS) is a recently developed patient-reported instrument assessing different constructs related to the fear-avoidance model of pain. The aim was to translate the original English FACS into Dutch (FACS-D) and assess its measurement properties in persons with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Methods: The original English FACS (20 item-scale, range: 0-100) was translated in Dutch through standard forward-backward translation methodology.
