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 [...]

Establishing a hierarchy of total knee arthroplasty patients’ goals and its congruity to health professionals’ perceptions: a cohort study – Sascha Karunaratne et al.

Lucia Marcello2024-04-07T16:49:13+10:00Knee, Musculoskeletal, Osteoarthritis, Pain, Publications, Risk, Shared decision making, Surgery, Treatment|

This study established a hierarchy of the goals most important to patients, identifying key goals as improving mobility, reducing pain, and improving daily tasks. Health professionals involved in the recommendation of knee arthroplasty were generally found to be able to identify what patients wanted to [...]

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 [...]

Utilizing Stems in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: Analysis of the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry Data – Jessica K. Osan et al.

We compared revision rates and reasons for revision for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed for osteoarthritis with and without tibial stem extensions. Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were used to compare all cause revision, reason and type of [...]

Referral patterns for people with musculoskeletal complaints in general practice: An analysis from an Australian primary care database – Romi Haas et al.

The objective of this study is to examine referral patterns for people with musculoskeletal complaints presenting to Australian general practitioners (GPs). This longitudinal analysis from the POpulation Level Analysis Reporting (POLAR) database includes 133,279 patients with low back (aged ≥18) or neck, shoulder and/or knee [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Awareness and use of five imaging decision rules for musculoskeletal injuries: a systematic review – Priti Kharel et al.

Lucia Marcello2023-12-01T14:12:33+11:00Imaging, Knee, Musculoskeletal, Practitioners, Publications, Spinal|

Several validated decision rules are available for clinicians to guide the appropriate use of imaging for patients with musculoskeletal injuries, including the Canadian CT Head Rule, Canadian C-Spine Rule, National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS) guideline, Ottawa Ankle Rules and Ottawa Knee Rules. However, it [...]

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
