Background: No questionnaire is currently available for use in patients with shoulder pain in an Indonesian-speaking population. This study aimed to translate the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) into Indonesian and assess its validity and reliability for use in Indonesian-speaking patients with shoulder pain.
Methods: After a forward and backward translation procedure, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were investigated.
Purpose: To translate the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) score into Indonesian and to assess its psychometric properties.
Materials And Methods: The ASES score was translated into Indonesian following the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines. Next, the validity and reliability of the Indonesia-ASES (I-ASES) were investigated.
To develop a core outcome set for Achilles tendinopathy (COS-AT) for use in clinical trials we performed a five-step process including (1) a systematic review of available outcome measurement instruments, (2) an online survey on truth and feasibility of the available measurement instruments, (3) an assessment of the methodological quality of the selected outcome measurement instruments, (4) an online survey on the outcome measurement instruments as COS and (5) a consensus in-person meeting. Both surveys were completed by healthcare professionals and patients. The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology guidelines with a 70% threshold for consensus were followed.

Methods: A set of implementation strategies was pilot implemented to test its feasibility for use in routine care by clinicians in 2 departments of a university medical center. An extensive learning process evaluation was performed, using structured mixed methods methodology, in accordance with the Reach, Effect, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework.
Background: The ideal approach for treating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is still disputed. This study aimed to determine the more cost-effective strategy by comparing early ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgery to conservative treatment (rehabilitation with optional delayed reconstruction) for ACL injury in a lower/middle-income country (LMIC), Indonesia.
Methods: A decision tree model was constructed for cost-utility analysis of early ACLR versus conservative treatment.
Purpose: A lifestyle front office (LFO) in the hospital is a not yet existing, novel concept that can refer patients under treatment in the hospital to community-based lifestyle interventions (CBLI). The aim of this study was to identify implementation barriers and facilitators regarding the implementation of an LFO in the hospital from the perspective of CBLI-professionals and to develop evidence-based implementation strategies to reduce these identified barriers.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews until data saturation, with 23 lifestyle professionals working in the community.
This observational study aimed to evaluate the intra- and inter-operator reliability of a digital palpation device in measuring compressive stiffness of the patellar tendon at different knee angles in talent and elite volleyball players. Second aim was to examine differences in reliability when measuring at different knee angles, between dominant and non-dominant knees, between sexes, and with age. Two operators measured stiffness at the midpoint of the patellar tendon in 45 Dutch volleyball players at 0°, 45° and 90° knee flexion, on both the dominant and non-dominant side.

Orthopaedic surgeons can play a primary role in advocating the benefits of an active lifestyle. Aim of the study was 1) to assess the attitude of orthopaedic surgeons towards PA for people after THR/TKR and 2) to compare the attitude between a Northern European (the Netherlands) and a Southern European (Italy) country and analyze which factors influence the attitude towards PA.

Methods: We used a subsample (n = 88,659) of the Lifelines cohort study from the Netherlands. For people living with and without 20 different self-reported health conditions, we studied the aforementioned factors in relation to physical activity.
Background: The pain subscales of the Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS and HOOS) are among the most frequently applied, patient reported outcomes to assess pain in osteoarthritis patients and evaluation of the results after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). For the evaluation of change over time it is essential to know the responsiveness and interpretability of these measurement instruments. Aim of this study is to investigate responsiveness and interpretability of the KOOS and HOOS pain subscales in patients with knee or hip OA and patients after TKA and THA as recommended by COSMIN guidelines.

Methods: A cross-sectional study. A Dutch online survey was distributed among eight different disciplines of primary and secondary HCPs.
Background: The Indonesian versions of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee form (IKDC), and the Lysholm scores are considered valid and reliable for Indonesian-speaking patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to determine the responsiveness of the ACL-RSI, IKDC, and Lysholm scores in an Indonesian-speaking population with ACL injury. It was hypothesized that they would have good responsiveness.

Purpose: To analyze the association between change in knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) and patient-reported outcome, radiological progression of osteoarthritis, and surgical survival after lateral closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
Methods: A cohort of 180 patients treated in one single hospital with lateral closing-wedge HTO was examined. KJLO was defined by the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA).
Aims: Despite recommendations in international clinical guidelines, lifestyle-related treatment modalities (LRTMs) are currently underutilised in the conservative treatment of patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. This study aimed to identify implementation strategies in order to address barriers to implementing LRTMs from the perspective of healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Methods: The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)-Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) Implementation Strategy Matching Tool was applied.
Purpose: To systematically review the literature on the association between knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) and clinical outcome after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for medial knee osteoarthritis and summarize the KJLO cut-off value used when studying this association.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) on September 2022, updated on February 2023. Eligible studies describing postoperative KJLO in relation to clinical outcome after HTO for medial knee osteoarthritis were included.
Purpose: To investigate how radiographic techniques and osteoarthritis grade influence measurements of knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) and KJLO-related frontal deformity, and to propose preferable KJLO measurement methods.
Methods: Forty patients with symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis indicated for high tibial osteotomy were assessed. Measurements were compared between single-leg and double-leg standing radiographs for KJLO measurement methods including joint line orientation angle by femoral condyles (JLOAF), joint line orientation angle by middle knee joint space (JLOAM), joint line orientation angle by tibial plateau (JLOAT), Mikulicz joint line angle (MJLA) and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), as well as KJLO-related frontal deformity parameters including joint line convergence angle (JLCA), knee ankle joint angle (KAJA) and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA).
Background: The Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport After Injury (ACL-RSI) scale measures athletes' emotion, confidence, and risk appraisal when returning to sports after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and/or ACL reconstruction (ACLR).
Purpose: To translate the ACL-RSI into the Indonesian language and to assess its validity and reliability in Indonesian-speaking patients after ACLR.
Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2.
Background: An increasing number of patients are surviving sarcoma after lower limb-salvage surgery (LSS) and are left with functional limitations. This systematic review aimed to determine the therapeutic validity and effectiveness of exercise interventions after lower limb-salvage surgery (LSS) for sarcoma.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using formal narrative synthesis of intervention studies (with and without control group) identified through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and PEDro databases.
Background: Excessive range of tibial rotation (rTR) may be a reason why athletes cannot return to sports after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). After ACLR, rTR is smaller in reconstructed knees compared to contralateral knees when measured during low-to-moderate-demand tasks. This may not be representative of the amount of rotational laxity during sports activities.
