The ability to efficiently identify patients at higher risk of poor outcomes after joint replacement would enable limited resources for post-operative follow-up to be directed to those with the greatest clinical need. This is particularly important as joint replacement rates continue to grow internationally, stretching [...]

HIP fracture Supplemental Therapy to Enhance Recovery (HIPSTER): a protocol for a randomised controlled trial – Lara A Kimmel et al.

Hip fractures result in substantial health impacts for patients and costs to health systems. Many patients require prolonged hospital stays and up to 60% do not regain their prefracture level of mobility within 1 year. Physical rehabilitation plays a key role in regaining physical function [...]

A mixed methods approach to investigating physical activity in people with obesity participating in a chronic care programme awaiting total knee or hip arthroplasty – Natalie Pavlovic et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-13T14:02:32+11:00Clinical guidelines, Hip, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Osteoarthritis, Publications, Surgery|

This study captured the physical activity trajectory and explored barriers and enablers to physical activity in a socially and culturally diverse sample with obesity awaiting TKA or THA. For context, we collected many baseline measures capturing disease severity. The baseline average Oxford scores indicated moderate [...]

Improving hip fracture care: A five-year review of the early contributors to the Australian and New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry – Morag E. Taylor et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-13T13:21:55+11:00Ageing, Clinical guidelines, Hip, Musculoskeletal, Pain, Prescribing, Publications, Surgery, Treatment|

The aim of this study was to examine temporal trends (2016–2020) in hip fracture care in Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) hospitals that started providing patient-level data to the ANZ Hip Fracture Registry (ANZHFR) on/before 1 January 2016 (early contributors). Retrospective cohort study of early [...]

Stakeholder perspectives on short-stay joint replacement programs: results from a national cross-sectional study – Ilana N Ackerman et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-11T13:59:45+11:00Health professionals, Hip, Insurance, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Publications, Surgery|

The capacity to meet anticipated growth in joint replacement demand requires safe, efficient models of care. While short-stay joint replacement programs are being used internationally, they have not been widely implemented in many countries. Importantly, the critical challenges that need to be addressed ahead of [...]

A systematic review and meta-analysis of short-stay programmes for total hip and knee replacement, focusing on safety and optimal patient selection – Danielle Berkovic et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-11T13:55:49+11:00Hip, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Publications, Risk, Treatment|

Short-stay joint replacement programmes are used in many countries but there has been little scrutiny of safety outcomes in the literature. We aimed to systematically review evidence on the safety of short-stay programmes versus usual care for total hip (THR) and knee replacement (KR), and [...]

The Impact of Surgical Approach on 90-Day Prosthetic Joint Infection After Total Hip Replacement — A Population-Based, Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study – Gregory C. Wernecke et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-02-09T15:55:32+11:00Hip, Musculoskeletal, Publications, Risk, Surgery|

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to determine if the anterior approach (AP) influenced the incidence of early PJI in THA compared to posterior approach (PP). Record linkage was performed between state-wide hospitalization data and [...]

Patients’ experiences of subacute pain management following total hip or knee arthroplasty: A qualitative study – Shania Liu et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T15:10:18+11:00Hip, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Opioids, Pain, Publications, Surgery|

Total hip and knee arthroplasties are common surgeries performed worldwide, but the management of pain during the subacute period (defined as hospital discharge to 3 months postoperatively) is poorly understood. This study aimed to determine patients' experiences, facilitators and barriers to subacute pain management following total [...]

Global Burden of Disease Study 2019: an opportunity to understand the growing prevalence and impact of hip, knee, hand and other osteoarthritis in Australia – Ilana N. Ackerman, Rachelle Buchbinder & Lyn March

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T13:10:16+11:00Hip, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Osteoarthritis, Publications|

This study highlights the growing disease burden of OA in Australia over three decades, drawing on national-level modelled data from the longstanding Global Burden of Disease Study. Hand OA was recently included as a separate cause of disease, enabling us to examine prevalence and disability [...]

The effect of body mass index and preoperative weight loss in people with obesity on postoperative outcomes to 6 months following total hip or knee arthroplasty: a retrospective study – Natalie Pavlovic et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T12:15:53+11:00Hip, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Osteoarthritis, Publications, Surgery, Treatment|

Few studies have investigated the association between obesity, preoperative weight loss and postoperative outcomes beyond 30- and 90-days post-arthroplasty. This study investigated whether body mass index (BMI) and preoperative weight loss in people with obesity predict postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes 6 months following total knee [...]
