Introduction: Kinesiophobia, the fear of physical movement and activity related to injury vulnerability, has been linked to sub-optimal outcomes following total knee replacement (TKR). This systematic review has two aims: to define the relationship between kinesiophobia and functional outcomes, pain and range of motion following TKR, and to evaluate published treatments for kinesiophobia following TKR.
Materials And Methods: A primary search of electronic databases, grey literature, and trial registries was performed in March 2020.
Background: Optimal management of severe and complex injuries to the medial knee ligaments remains uncertain. This systematic review evaluates outcomes from randomised controlled trials investigating interventions for treating injuries of medial ligaments of the knee.
Methods: Randomised controlled clinical trials evaluating interventions for treating injuries of the medial knee ligaments were identified through searching EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane, WHO, and clinicaltrials.
Background: Effective communication on surgical ward rounds should clarify for patients their management plan and answer questions adequately. Pressures on time conspire against this interchange of information. A patient-centred surgical communication check sheet was devised to enable rapid two-way transfer of information between surgeon and patient.
