Objective: To investigate the impact of video information on preoperative anxiety of patients scheduled to undergo joint lavage for knee osteoarthritis, and tolerability of the lavage.
Methods: A video film on joint lavage (duration 4 minutes, 20 seconds) was made by medical communication professionals, based on recommendations of the medical and paramedical staff of the Institute of Rheumatology. Patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and scheduled for lavage were assigned, using a preestablished list of randomization, to either the video group or the no-video group.
