De participatiedoelen en onderliggende waarden van patiënten zijn hier mogelijk op van invloed. Op dit moment zijn er beperkte inzichten in de participatiedoelen …

In recent decades, the number of cases of knee arthroplasty among people of working age has increased. The integrated clinical pathway ‘back at work after surgery’ is an initiative to reduce the possible cost of sick leave. The evaluation of this pathway, like many clinical studies, faces the challenge …

Aims: To investigate the impact of consecutive perioperative care transitions on in-hospital recovery of patients who had primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over an 11-year period. Methods: This observational cohort study used electronic health record data from all patients undergoing preoperative …

Objective Primary aim; to determine the feasibility of implementation of the INTERMED Self-Assessment (IM-SA) in adult patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Secondary aim; to measure biopsychosocial complexity, referral to psychiatry or psychology in cases of complexity and to gain insight …

Distraction treatment for severe osteoarthritis below the age of 65 successfully postpones arthroplasty. Most patients have been treated with a general external fixator or a device specifically intended for knee distraction. This study compares clinical efficacy of both devices in retrospect and their …

BACKGROUND: Optimizing return to work (RTW) after knee arthroplasty (KA) is becoming increasingly important due to a growing incidence of KA and poor RTW outcomes after KA. We developed the Back At work After Surgery (BAAS) clinical pathway for optimized RTW after KA. Since the effectiveness and cost …

PURPOSE: Optimizing return to work after knee arthroplasty is becoming more important because of the growing incidence of KA among workers and poor return to work outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of Back At work After Surgery (BAAS): an integrated clinical pathway …

Advanced cryotherapy has been widely used in post-op rehabilitation. However, its effectiveness on post-Total Knee Arthroplasty symptoms remains uncertain. Following this procedure, several factors are present in the recovery phase. Pain, swelling, inflammation, reduced range of motion are among them. …

Introduction: Patient information holds an important role in knee arthroplasty surgery regarding patients’ expectations and outcomes after surgery. The purpose of the present study was to explore the experiences and opinions of patients undergoing knee arthroplasty (KA) surgery on an information brochure …

BACKGROUND: Recovery trajectories differ between individual patients and it is hypothesizes that they can be used to predict if an individual patient is likely to recover earlier or later. Primary aim of this study was to determine if it is possible to identify recovery trajectories for physical functioning …
