Femoral head size and surgical approach affect dislocation and overall revision rates in total hip arthroplasty: up to 9-year follow-up data of 269,280 procedures in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI).

Background: Femoral head size and surgical approach might affect the revision rate for dislocation and for any other reason after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We penetrated this question based on registry data with up to 9-year follow-up.

Methods: 269,280 primary THAs documented in the Dutch Arthroplasty Registry (LROI) between 2007 and 2019 were included.

The learning curve of the direct anterior approach is 100 cases: an analysis based on 15,875 total hip arthroplasties in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register.

Background And Purpose: In the last decade, the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become more popular in the Netherlands. Therefore, we investigated the learning curve and survival rate of the DAA in primary THA, using data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI).

Patients And Methods: We identified all patients who received a primary THA using the DAA in several high-volume centers in the Netherlands between 2007 and 2019 (n = 15,903).

Effects of Information Architecture on the Effectiveness and User Experience of Web-Based Patient Education in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Online Randomized Experiment.

Background: Web-based patient education is increasingly offered to improve patients' ability to learn, remember, and apply health information. Efficient organization, display, and structural design, that is, information architecture (IA), can support patients' ability to independently use web-based patient education. However, the role of IA in the context of web-based patient education has not been examined systematically.

Feasibility of Collecting Multiple Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Alongside the Dutch Arthroplasty Register.

Background: Compliance rates with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) collected alongside arthroplasty registries vary in the literature. We described the feasibility of a routinely collected set PROMs alongside the Dutch Arthroplasty Register.

Methods: The longitudinal Leiden Orthopaedics Outcomes of OsteoArthritis Study is a multicenter (7 hospitals), observational study including patients undergoing total hip or total knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA).

Communication Preferences in Total Joint Arthroplasty: Exploring the Patient Experience Through Generative Research.

Background: Improving communication and information services for people receiving a total joint (knee or hip) arthroplasty (TJA) depends on the differences in patient communication needs and personal characteristics.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to further examine individual differences in TJA patient preferences regarding communication and information provision.

Methods: Nineteen patients participated in generative research, which meant they actively reflected on their TJA experiences and communication preferences through creative exercises (e.
