“…[17,68,69] In the present study, the patients' clinical symptoms were severe and high that it may decline their QoL before surgery. Other studies also indicated that patients with OA suffer from severe pain and limitation in hip performance before knee replacement or hip arthroplasty surgery [70][71][72] which was consistent with the results of the current study. In terms of patients' satisfaction with the results of knee surgery, the results indicated that satisfaction from surgery was weak and patients were not satisfied.…”

Background: Knee replacement surgery is often successful; however, a number of patients are not satisfied with the results of the operation. Objectives: This study was designed to determine whether clinical presentation and quality of life (QoL) before knee replacement surgery could predict patient satisfaction with surgery. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 250 elderly patients with the age of 60 years or over who were candidate for a unilateral knee replacement surgery in hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. To gather data, the QoL Questionnaire, knee evaluation form, demographic, and satisfaction questionnaire were used. The questionnaires were filled-in before and after surgery and in follow-up time (2 months later). Results: Most of the respondents were women (66.4%) with the mean age of 68. 9 (standard deviation = 6. 84). The results showed a significant positive correlation between patients' post-operative satisfaction and pre-operative clinical presentation (r = 0.195 P = 0.003) and QoL (r =156, P = 0.023). However, there was no significant association between post-operative satisfaction and pre-operative clinical presentation and QoL at follow-up time (P > 0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that pre-operation clinical presentations and QoL, respectively, explained 3.8% and 2.4% of the variance in post-operative satisfaction. Conclusions:The results showed that satisfaction after surgery in the elderly is partly influenced by the pre-operative QoL and clinical presentation. Therefore, for improvement of the patients' post-operative outcomes, it is necessary to pay more attention to these variables in future planning.

“…The present study is part of a study designed to examine recovery course the first year after surgery [14] and to examine whether participation in a physiotherapy programme starting three months after surgery influenced the recovery course [20]. The study had a longitudinal design, and the patients were asked to describe what they wanted to improve preoperatively and at three and 12 months postoperatively.…”

BackgroundIn the field of rehabilitation, patients are supposed to be experts on their own lives, but the patient’s own desires in this respect are often not reported. Our objectives were to describe the patients’ desires regarding functional improvements before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA).MethodsSixty-four patients, 34 women and 30 men, with a mean age of 65 years, were asked to describe in free text which physical functions they desired to improve. They were asked before surgery and at three and 12 months after surgery. Each response signified one desired improvement. The responses were coded according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd category levels. The frequency of the codes was calculated as a percentage of the total number of responses of all assessments times and in percentage of each time of assessment.ResultsA total of 333 responses were classified under Part 1 of the ICF, Functioning and Disability, and 88% of the responses fell into the Activities and Participation component. The numbers of responses classified into the Activities and Participation component were decreasing over time (p < 0.001). The categories of Walking (d450), Moving around (d455), and Recreation and leisure (d920) included more than half of the responses at all the assessment times. At three months after surgery, there was a trend that fewer responses were classified into the Recreation and leisure category, while more responses were classified into the category of Dressing (d540).ConclusionsThe number of functional improvements desired by the patients decreased during the first postoperative year, while the content of the desires before and one year after THA were rather consistent over time and mainly concerned with the ability to walk and participate in recreation and leisure activities. At three months, however, there was a tendency that the patients were more concerned about the immediate problems with putting on socks and shoes.
