Changes in sexual behavior after orthopedic replacement of hip or knee in elderly males—a prospective study

2000

The aim of this study was to investigate two questions: Does arthroplastic surgery affect the patient's status as being sexually active; and if patients are sexually active, does surgery affect their erectile function? The study was designed prospectively and the patients ®lled in a questionnaire concerning sexuality and erectile function before and 6 months after alloplastic hipor knee surgery. Ninety-nine males were included, mean age 70.6 y. The results demonstrate that 17% of patients lost a sexual activity that they had preoperatively, and no one regained sexual activity after surgery. A correlation between increasing age and risk of losing sexual activity was demonstrated. 26.1% lost a normal erectile function they had preoperatively, while 6.7% regained normal erections. A similar correlation between increasing age and increased risk was demonstrated. From this study of elderly males undergoing orthopaedic alloplastic surgery it is concluded that the risk of losing sexual activity and erectile capability is increased after surgery, and especially in the group where sexual functions are already impaired.

“…For hip arthroplasty, this is usually within three months (Lichtenstein, Semaan and Marmar 1993;Borstlap et al 1994); recovery from knee arthroplasty takes longer (Wright et al 1990;Patel, Aichroth and Wand 1991). Our aim was to assess the outcome in terms of functional recovery, fatigue and psychological variables during the two months after operation.…”

There are many studies of long-term recovery from major joint arthroplasty, but little is known about the first days and weeks after operation. We measured function, emotional state and life evaluation before arthroplasty and at seven and 50 days after in a consecutive series of 40 hip and 23 knee replacements.Pain was relieved significantly at seven days after hip arthroplasty and even more at 50 days. In knee patients, pain relief was modest and was not apparent until 50 days. Functional ability was much improved by 50 days in hip patients, but hardly changed in knee patients. Positive mood and life satisfaction did not improve in either group.Our findings will help with more accurate information for patients before operation and also in judging the rate of recovery.

“…Aarons et al (1996) found, in a sample of 70 patients, that there was a significant improvement in NA seven days after arthroplasty with no later improvement, whereas PA and LS saw no improvement at all after the surgery, remaining at the same level even at 50 days postoperation. In another study involving 62 Dutch osteoarthritis patients with total hip replacements (Borstlap et al 1994), there was some evidence of reduced anxiety and depression and of increased cheerfulness three to twelve months after surgery. Significant improvement in scores of LS (Salmon et al 2001) as well as of anxiety and depression (Perruccio et al 2011;Salmon et al 2001) have been observed in different samples of osteoarthritis patients who were followed up three to four times after arthroplasty for a period of up to six months.…”

Subjective Well-Being and Self-Reported Health in Osteoarthritis Patients Before and After Arthroplasty

The main aim of the current study is to examine the changes in the components of subjective well-being (SWB) over time in patients with osteoarthritis who have undergone total hip or knee replacement surgery (arthroplasty). We are also interested in determining whether pre-operative ratings of self-reported health (SRH) status, as well as change in health status, can serve as predictors for postoperative levels of SWB. To this end, 50 participants who had been admitted to a hospital for arthroplasty completed the measures twice-first at the clinic one day before the surgery, and then at home approximately 4.5 months after the surgery. Despite the fact that there were substantial improvements in participants' health and physical functioning after the arthroplasty, there were no changes in their ratings of general SRH, life satisfaction (LS), or negative affect (NA). The only change in SWB scores was in the level of positive affect (PA), which was significantly higher after surgery compared with the pre-operative measurement. LS, NA, and PA scores after arthroplasty were differentially predicted by health ratings, showing that, it is the cognitive-evaluative component of SWB (i.e., LS) that is mostly responsible for the association between general SRH and SWB while affective components (i.e., NA and PA) are primarily related to more specific health indicators. Our findings can assist physicians in their efforts to provide more realistic expectations for their patients undergoing surgery in terms of the physical and psychological outcome.
