A stepwise transformation: description and outcome of perioperative procedures in patients receiving a total knee arthroplasty.

Aims: To investigate the impact of consecutive perioperative care transitions on in-hospital recovery of patients who had primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over an 11-year period.

Methods: This observational cohort study used electronic health record data from all patients undergoing preoperative screening for primary TKA at a Northern Netherlands hospital between 2009 and 2020. In this timeframe, three perioperative care transitions were divided into four periods: Baseline care (Joint Care, n = 171; May 2009 to August 2010), Function-tailored (n = 404; September 2010 to October 2013), Fast-track (n = 721; November 2013 to May 2018), and Prehabilitation (n = 601; June 2018 to December 2020).

Near-Optimal Recovery Within 3 Months: Investigating Health-Related Quality of Life and Functional Outcomes After Single-Stage Bilateral Hip Replacement for Osteoarthritis.

Single-stage bilateral hip replacement (SSBHR) is a safe and successful orthopaedic intervention for patients suffering from bilateral osteoarthritis of the hip. Data on short- and mid-term recovery outcome studies are, unfortunately, scarce. The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in the functional measures and quality of life after SSBHR and to determine the patient's willingness to undergo the same procedure again.

Current Status and Future Prospects for Shared Decision Making Before and After Total Knee Replacement Surgery-A Scoping Review.

. To gain insight into the current state-of-the-art of shared decision making (SDM) during decisions related to pre and postoperative care process regarding primary total knee replacement (TKR). .

Effect of Nonelastic Compression With an Adjustable Wrap After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Swelling is a common phenomenon after total knee arthroplasty, with potential for negative impact on the rehabilitation process and final outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a new compression protocol with a self-adjustable, nonelastic compression wrap for the knee region. This study was conducted as a prospective comparative study.

Paediatric hip fractures: a systematic review of incidence, treatment options and complications.

Hip fractures in children are rare; when not properly treated, they can be disastrous for the growing child. We present the incidence, causes, treatment options and possible complications. A good understanding of classification and treatment options is of great importance to minimize complications.

Does harvesting of iliac bone grafts with an acetabular reamer reduce complication rate?

Autogenous bone grafts are often used in orthopaedic surgery. One of the well-known techniques to obtain the grafts from either the anterior superior or posterior iliac spine uses a classic acetabular reamer. This retrospective study searches for the frequency of complications and discomfort in a population of 78 patients after this kind of bone graft harvesting.
