Background: Many patients suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) in multiple joints, possibly resulting in multiple joint arthroplasties (MJAs). Primarily, we determined the cumulative incidence (C) of MJA in hip and knee joints up to 10 years. Secondly, we calculated the mean time between the first and subsequent joint arthroplasty, and evaluated the different MJA trajectories.

- The study aimed to assess how patients with hip/knee osteoarthritis adhere to physical activity recommendations before and after surgeries like total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) and to identify factors that predict non-adherence after 12 months.
- Data from over 1900 patients showed that initial adherence to physical activity (50%) increased slightly to 59% after 6 and 12 months post-surgery; however, most patients maintained their preoperative activity levels with varying predictors for adherence based on demographics and health factors.
- The findings highlight the importance of promoting physical activity in rehabilitation for osteoarthritis patients, as early adherence is a strong predictor of long-term engagement, which is
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the estimated change in primary and revision arthroplasty rate in the Netherlands and Denmark for hips, knees, and shoulders during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 (COVID-period). Additional points of focus included the comparison of patient characteristics and hospital type (2019 vs COVID-period), and the estimated loss of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and impact on waiting lists.
Methods: All hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasties (2014 to 2020) from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register, and hip and knee arthroplasties from the Danish Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Registries, were included.
The influence of sex on preoperative expectations and their fulfillment following total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) remains unexplored. We investigated differences between men and women in perceived preoperative expectations on the outcome of THA/TKA and their fulfillment 1 year postoperatively. We performed a cohort study.

Comparisons of postoperative activities and participation between surgical approaches for THA are sparse. We therefore investigated the association between PLA and DAA for THA regarding the construct "activity and participation" (ICF model) during the first postoperative year.

Methods: We used Longitudinal Leiden Orthopedics Outcomes of Osteo-Arthritis study data of patients between 45 and 65 years and undergoing primary TKA. KOOS scores (0-100) were obtained preoperatively and 6, 12, and 24 months after TKA.
