The Effect of Preoperative Information and Education on the Clinical Outcome of Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Randomized Trial.

Introduction Preoperative patient information and education is an essential aspect of modern surgical care, particularly for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). This prospective, randomized trial aimed to assess the effects of structured preoperative education and information on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing THA. Materials and methods A total of 102 patients were randomized into two groups: the intervention group (n = 51) receiving standardized preoperative information and education, and the control group (n = 51) receiving standard preoperative care without a formal educational component.

Role of Preoperative Information and Education of Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review of the Literature.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common and highly effective surgical procedure used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with severe hip arthritis and other hip disorders. While the surgical techniques and implants used in THA have advanced significantly, the importance of preoperative information and education cannot be overstated. The aim of this narrative review is to explore the effect of preoperative information and education on the outcome of THA.
