INTRODUCTION The number of major joint replacement procedures continues to increase in Australia. The primary aim of this study is to determine the incidence of falls in the first 12 months after discharge from hospital in a cohort of older patients who undergo elective total hip or total knee replacement. METHODS AND ANALYSES A prospective longitudinal observational cohort study starting in ...

a 48‑year‑old morbidly obese woman with a left medial meniscal tear and moderately severe degenerative joint disease (djd) reported for 14‑month follow‑up visit from arthroscopic surgery. she reported a resolution of pain, swelling and an improved range of motion (rom). the patient was first evaluated 14 months ago, and at that time was considered a strong candidate for total knee replacement d...

BACKGROUND currently, assessment of outcomes after joint replacement is predominantly centred on impairment and activity limitation (e.g. walking), with little consideration of participation restriction. METHOD structured telephone interviews about participation in leisure activities were conducted with 56 total hip replacement (THR) and 60 total knee replacement (TKR) patients before and 1 y...
