Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) classification for knee osteoarthritis estimates disease severity. Its utility in predicting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after primary total knee arthroplasty (pTKA) has been suggested. We hypothesized that patients who had higher preoperative KL grades would demonstrate greater improvements in PROs after pTKA. METHODS This was a retrospective review of patients who underwent pTKA between 2016 and 2021. Two observers graded preoperative radiographs (KL1/2, KL3, and KL4). Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for activities of daily living (KOOS-ADL) and pain (KOOS-Pain) were collected at preoperative and 12-month postoperative visits. Changes in KOOS-ADL (ΔADL) and changes in KOOS-Pain (ΔPain) scores were compared from the preoperative to 12-month postoperative mark across different groups, with the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for both ΔADL (MCID-ADL) and ΔPain (MCID-Pain) also being calculated. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 1651 patients were included in the study. The KL3 and KL4 groups exhibited significantly higher ΔADL scores and ΔPain scores compared with the KL1/2 group (P < 0.01). Patients who had KL3 and KL4 were 1.42 (P = 0.03) and 1.88 (P < 0.01) times, respectively, more likely to achieve MCID-ADL compared with those who had KL1/2. Furthermore, patients who had a KL4 were 1.92 times (P < 0.01) more likely to reach MCID-Pain compared with those who had KL1/2. CONCLUSIONS This study determined that patients who had higher preoperative KL grades experienced markedly greater improvements in KOOS-ADL and KOOS-Pain scores than those who had lower KL grades. These findings offer surgeons an objective tool when counseling patients on expected outcomes after pTKA.

[PMID: 38640963 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.04.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple authors have sought to determine what patient characteristics influence outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The impact of gender on outcomes after TKA remains controversial. Previous studies had less than 5 years of follow-up after TKA. The aim of this evaluation was to determine what differences in pain, function, and quality of life (QoL) exist between female and male patients 5 years after primary TKA. METHODS A prospective, multicenter cohort of 11,602 unilateral primary TKA patients (7,284 females and 4,318 males) was prospectively evaluated. All patients were enrolled in the Function and Outcomes Research for Comparative Effectiveness in Total Joint Replacement. Demographic data, musculoskeletal and medical comorbid conditions, and patient-reported outcome measures, including the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) and Short-Form (36-item) Health Survey mental component score (MCS) and physical component score (PCS) were collected preoperatively and at 5 years after TKA. Descriptive statistics were generated, and stratified by gender, and differences in pain, function, and QoL between female and male patients were evaluated. Multivariate regression models with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the role of patient gender as a predictive factor for KOOS pain and function in daily living (ADL) scores reported 5 years after primary TKA, while adjusting for other variables. RESULTS Prior to surgery, female patients reported worse pain (KOOS pain 46 versus 52), function (KOOS ADL 53 versus 59), and QoL (KOOS QoL 26 versus 29) than male patients. The differences in preoperative scores ranged from 2.70 (KOOS QoL) to 6.12 (KOOS ADL). At 5 years after TKA, female patients reported slightly worse pain (87 versus 89), function (85 versus 87), and QoL (74 versus 75) when compared to male patients. The differences in the mean 5-year postoperative KOOS scores (range, 0.99 to 2.73), although statistically significant (P < .001), were clinically negligible. Female patients achieved greater improvement in pain (41 versus 37), function (32 versus 29), and QoL (48 versus 46) scores in comparison to male patients. Female patients also reported lower preoperative PCS global function (33 versus 35) scores, 5-year postoperative PCS scores (45 versus 46), and MCS global mental function scores (52 versus 54). Similarly, the differences in the 5-year postoperative Short-Form (36-item) Health Survey MCS and PCS scores were clinically negligible. Multivariate regression analysis showed that female gender was not independently predictive for either pain (β = -1.08; 95% CI [-1.25 to 1.03] [P = .85]) or function (β = 0.64; 95% CI [-0.51 to 1.79] [P = .28]) 5 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS There are no clinically significant gender differences in pain, function, or QoL 5 years after TKA. Female patients typically have worse symptoms prior to surgery, improve more than male patients, and end up with pain, function, and QoL scores clinically equal to male patients. These data can enhance the shared decision-making process between female patients and surgeons and assist in setting appropriate patient expectations prior to TKA.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between preoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and whether there was a relationship between the amount of improvement in PROM or final PROM and satisfaction and whether that relationship differed 1 and 2 years after TKA. The Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and satisfaction of 267 limbs who underwent TKA were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether there was a relationship between preoperative WOMAC or improvement in WOMAC or final WOMAC and satisfaction at 1 and 2 years after TKA. Pearson and Filon's z test was performed to determine whether there was a difference in evaluating satisfaction between the amount of improvement in WOMAC and final WOMAC. There was no significant relationship between preoperative WOMAC and satisfaction. A higher improvement in WOMAC total score and better final WOMAC total scores at 1 and 2 years after TKA were related to greater satisfaction. At 1 year after TKA, there was no significant difference in evaluating satisfaction between the amount of improvement in WOMAC and final WOMAC. However, 2 years after TKA, the final WOMAC function and total score were more related to satisfaction than the amount of improvement in WOMAC function and total score. In the early postoperative period, there was no difference in evaluating satisfaction between the amount of improvement in WOMAC and final WOMAC, whereas over time, the final WOMAC was more related to satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data from the American Joint Replacement Registry demonstrate that 1-year minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement rates after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are substantially lower when using general patient reported outcome measures, such as Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), than joint specific measures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient characteristics and outcomes associated with MCID achievement after TKA using the PROMIS-PF measure. METHODS A retrospective review of 263 patients undergoing TKA with preoperative and 1-year postoperative PROMIS-PF scores from March 12, 2020 to February 8, 2022 was performed. Three multivariate models were built to evaluate predictors of MCID achievement. Preoperative predictors evaluated included demographics, comorbidities, history of spine and knee surgery, and baseline PROMIS-PF. Postoperative clinical outcomes evaluated included lengths of stay, discharge statuses, complications, and utilizations of other orthopaedic services. RESULTS There were 109 patients (41%) who achieved an MCID at 1-year postoperatively. Non-white patients had 2.17 times lower odds of achieving MCID. No clinical outcomes assessed were independently predictive of MCID achievement. During the 1-year postoperative period, 63% of patients sought care for another orthopaedic condition. Patients requiring postoperative injections on another joint had a 2.27 times lower odds of achieving MCID. Those seen for spine conditions postoperatively had a 2.44 lower odds of achieving MCID. CONCLUSIONS Race, postoperative injections, and treatment for spine conditions after TKA were independent predictors of failure to achieve MCID. These results may guide preoperative patient consultation and risk-adjustment in future studies using PROMIS-PF as an endpoint for evaluation of TKA outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional somatic syndromes (FSSs), defined as chronic physical symptoms with no identifiable organic cause, may impact results after hip and knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review assessing the relationship between FSSs and clinical outcomes after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). METHODS The PubMed and Web of Science databases were queried from January 1955 through December 2021 for studies investigating the impact of at least one FSS (fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic headaches, and chronic low back pain) on outcomes after primary THA/TKA/UKA. Outcomes of interest included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), postoperative opioid use, complications, revisions, and costs of care. RESULTS There were twenty-eight studies, including 768,909 patients, of which 378,384 had an FSS. Five studies reported preoperative PROMs prior to THA/TKA, all of which showed worse PROMs among patients with at least 1 FSS diagnosis. Thirteen studies reported postoperative PROMs after THA/TKA, all of which demonstrated worse PROMs among patients with at least 1 FSS diagnosis. Patients with FSS diagnoses were more likely to continue using opioids at 3, 6, and 12 months following TKA, THA, and UKA. Medical and surgical complications, as well as revision rates, were higher among patients with FSSs. CONCLUSION Patients with FSSs have inferior PROMs and are at increased risk for prolonged postoperative opioid use, medical and surgical complications, and revision after hip and knee arthroplasty. Improved understanding of the factors influencing the success of hip and knee arthroplasty is critical. Future studies should address the biopsychosocial determinants of health that can impact outcomes after total joint arthroplasty.

Evaluating the Minimum Clinically Important Difference and Patient Acceptable Symptom State for the Womac Osteoarthritis Index after Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7618. [PMID: 38137685 PMCID: PMC10744230 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12247618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are standardized questionnaires that gather information on health-related quality of life directly from patients. Since a significant statistical mean change may not correspond to a clinical improvement, there is a need to calculate a considerable change in scores. This is done by the Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) and Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS). The objective of this article is to report the MCID and the PASS values of the WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster University) osteoarthritis index for patients undergoing Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA). A total of 37 patients (25 females and 12 males; mean age 68 ± 8.1 years and mean BMI 28.7 ± 4) who underwent UKA were enrolled. All patients were assessed using the WOMAC and the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) questionnaires before and six months following the procedure. To measure the cut-off values for MCID, distribution methods and anchor methods were applied, while the PASS was assessed only via anchor approaches. The MCID related to the WOMAC average global score was 90.7 ± 7.6, the average pain dimension score was 93.2 ± 6.6, the average stiffness dimension score was 92.6 ± 17, and the average physical function dimension score was 89.7 ± 7.6. In terms of PASS, the normalized WOMAC was 82.8, the pain dimension was 87.5, the stiffness dimension was 93.7, and the functional dimension was 83.1. A 34.5 amelioration in the WOMAC score, from initial evaluation to final follow-up, using change in OKS > 5 as anchor, indicates that the patients' health state improved to a clinically significant degree. A value at least of 82.8 in WOMAC score after treatment denotes that the symptom state is deemed acceptable by most of the patients.

Patients' experiences of subacute pain management following total hip or knee arthroplasty: A qualitative study. Musculoskeletal Care 2023; 21:1612-1621.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 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 hip or knee arthroplasty. METHODS Semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of patients following total hip or knee arthroplasty were conducted between June and August 2022. Participants were recruited from two tertiary metropolitan hospitals. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using an inductive thematic approach to identify common themes. RESULTS In total, 30 interviews were conducted with patients following hip or knee arthroplasty. Four main themes were identified: (i) Physical constitution before surgery (joint condition, analgesic use, age, and hearing); (ii) Attitude and knowledge (motivation, outlook on life, attitude towards taking medications, individual benchmarking, and knowledge); (iii) Socio-ethno-cultural factors (family and community connection, language, and religion), and (iv) Health-system support (health-professional delivered education, medications, services, staff, and costs). CONCLUSIONS Participants' experiences of subacute pain following hip or knee arthroplasty were shaped by multidimensional factors. Strategies to empower patients through increased education and support during postoperative opioid tapering as well as a shift to a biopsychosocial approach to pain management during the subacute period may improve patient and health-system outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) is becoming more and more popular as a treatment option for advanced knee diseases due to its potential to reduce operator-induced errors. However, the development of accurate prediction models for postoperative outcomes is challenging. This study aimed to develop a nomogram model to predict the likelihood of achieving a beneficial functional outcome. The beneficial outcome is defined as a postoperative improvement of the functional Knee Society Score (fKSS) of more than 10 points, 3 months after RA-TKA by early collection and analysis of possible predictors. METHODS This is a retrospective study on 171 patients who underwent unilateral RA-TKA at our hospital. The collected data included demographic information, preoperative imaging data, surgical data, and preoperative and postoperative scale scores. Participants were randomly divided into a training set ( N =120) and a test set ( N =51). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to screen for relevant factors. Variance inflation factor was used to investigate for variable collinearity. The accuracy and stability of the models were evaluated using calibration curves with the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, consistency index and receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS Predictors of the nomogram included preoperative hip-knee-ankle angle deviation, preoperative 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale score, preoperative fKSS score and preoperative range of motion. Collinearity analysis with demonstrated no collinearity among the variables. The consistency index values for the training and test sets were 0.908 and 0.902, respectively. Finally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.908 (95% CI 0.846-0.971) in the training set and 0.902 (95% CI 0.806-0.998) in the test set. CONCLUSION A nomogram model was designed hereby aiming to predict the functional outcome 3 months after RA-TKA in patients. Rigorous validation showed that the model is robust and reliable. The identified key predictors include preoperative hip-knee-ankle angle deviation, preoperative visual analogue scale score, preoperative fKSS score, and preoperative range of motion. These findings have major implications for improving therapeutic interventions and informing clinical decision-making in patients undergoing RA-TKA.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2023; 33:3019-3024. [PMID: 36947311 PMCID: PMC10504170 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03526-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To predict the most important preoperative factor affecting the patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in trial to improve patient counselling process. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent primary TKA from January 1, 2018, to January 31, 2019, with minimum one-year follow-up for the previously collected patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for joint replacement (KOOS, JR) preoperative, 6 months and 12 months postoperative. RESULTS By using Oxford knee score at 12 months as dependent variable, we found a negative moderate spearman correlation between age and Oxford knee score at 12 months postoperative. Moderate negative spearman correlation was also found between Oxford knee score at 12 months postoperative and KOOS pain, stiffness and function scores at preoperative and 6 months postoperative, denoting higher satisfaction at 12 months with less perceived stiffness, pain and limited function at baseline and 6 months postoperative. A multivariate regression analysis was done using the oxford knee score at 12 months as dependent variable to detect the predictors of oxford knee score at 12 months postoperatively and showed that younger age and less perception of stiffness at baseline were significant predictors of higher Oxford knee score: higher satisfaction at 12 months postoperative. CONCLUSION Preoperative stiffness can predict the postoperative satisfaction score more than any other factor. We also address the importance of combining more than one PROM in assessing patients as OKS and KOOS, JR.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Knee osteoarthritis is one of the primary causes of chronic pain among older adults and because of the aging population, the number of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed is exponentially increasing. While pain reduction is a goal of TKA, movement-evoked pain is rarely assessed pre- and post-TKA. We characterized the distributions of change in pain, function, and situational catastrophizing in patients from presurgery to 3 months postsurgery and explored associations among these pre-post changes. Research Design and Methods This prospective study longitudinally assessed movement-evoked pain, function, and situational catastrophizing in patients with knee osteoarthritis (N = 92) using in-person performance-based tests (6-min walk test [6MWT], stair-climb test [SCT]) prior to and 3 months after TKA. Patients also completed the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Scales (WOMAC) pain and function subscales, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale, presurgery and 3- and 6-months postsurgery. Results Movement-evoked pain and function on performance tests significantly improved from pre- to post-TKA. Improved SCT function was associated with reduced SCT pain and catastrophizing. Similarly, reduced pain during the SCT was associated with reduced catastrophizing during the SCT. However, 6MWT function was not associated with 6MWT pain or catastrophizing; yet reduced pain during the 6MWT was associated with reduced catastrophizing during the 6MWT. Reduced movement-evoked pain during both performance tests was consistently associated with improved WOMAC function and pain, whereas improved function on performance tests was inconsistently associated with WOMAC function and pain. Notably, greater movement-evoked pain on both performance tests at 3-month post-TKA was associated with worse WOMAC function and pain at 6 months, whereas better function on performance tests at 3 months was associated with better WOMAC function, but not related to WOMAC pain at 6 months. Discussion and Implications Findings highlight the importance of situation-specific and in vivo assessments of pain and catastrophizing during physical activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The impact of age on patient outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. Age has shown no effect on outcome in some studies, while others have reported better or worse outcome in younger patients. The aims of this study were to determine the differences in pain, function, and quality of life reported one-year after TKA across different age groups. METHODS A prospective, multi-center cohort of 11,602 unilateral primary TKA patients was evaluated. Demographic data, comorbid conditions, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) including the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), KOOS-12, KOOS JR, and Short-Form health survey (12-item) were collected pre- and at one-year postoperatively. Descriptive statistics were generated, stratified by age [< 55 years (younger adult), 55 to 64 years (older adult), 65 to 74 years (early elder), and ≥ 75 years (late elder)], and differences in pain, function, and quality of life among the four age groups were evaluated using Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Multivariate regression models with 95% confidence interval (CI) were performed to determine if age was predictive for KOOS pain and function scores. RESULTS Prior to surgery, younger patients (< 55 years) reported worse KOOS pain (39), function (50), and quality of life (18) scores with poor mental health score (47) than other older patient groups. The mean pre-op score differences across the age groups in the KOOS total score (9.37), KOOS pain (11.61), KOOS-12 pain (10.14), and KOOS/KOOS-12 QoL (12.60) reached the calculated minimal clinically important difference (MCID). At one-year after TKA, younger patients (< 55 years) reported lower KOOS pain, function, and quality of life scores when compared to older patients (≥ 75 years). The differences in one-year postop scores among the 4 age groups (ranging from 4.0 to 12.2) reached the MCID for pain (10.4) and quality of life (12.2). Younger patients (< 55 years) achieved higher baseline to one-year pain (36.8 points), function (30.3 points), and quality of life (40.7 points) score changes when compared to older patients ≥ 75 years. Although statistically significant, the differences in score changes among the age groups were clinically irrelevant. The multivariate regression analyses showed that age was a significant predictor for pain, but not for function at one year where KOOS pain score was predicted to be higher (less pain) (β =6.17; 95% CI (4.12- 8.22) (P<0.001) in older patients (≥ 75 years) when compared to younger patients (< 55 years). CONCLUSION A TKA provides a dramatic improvement in pain, function, and quality of life in all age groups. However, there are age-related clinically significant differences in pre-operative pain, quality of life, and mental health and in final post-operative pain and quality of life scores with younger patients (< 55 years) reporting more pain, less quality of life, and worse pre-operative mental health. The PROM data presented here can be used clinically to improve shared decision making and patient expectations prior to TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze evolution and factors related with greater gains in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and with a greater probability of exceed their corresponding minimal clinically important differences (MCID) in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee, undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at long-term. METHODS Data were obtained from two previously recruited multicenter cohorts of patients who underwent TKA in the Basque Country. Patients were follow-up at 6 months and 10 years after surgery. Patients completed specific and generic HRQOL questionnaires plus sociodemographic, and clinical data at 10 years. Associations were analysed using linear and logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 471 patients responded at 10-year follow-up. The multivariable analysis showed that low preoperative HRQOL scores, higher age, higher BMI, some comorbidities and readmissions at 6 months were associated with less gains in HRQOL. Apart from aforementioned, to have a peripheral vascular disease (odd ratio 0.49 (95% CI, 0.24-0.99)), complications (odd ratio 0.31 (95% CI, 0.11-0.91)), and readmissions within 6 months of discharge (odd ratio 2.12 (95% CI, 1.18-3.80)) were associated with a lower probability of exceeding the MCID. The effect sizes (ESs) of changes from baseline to 6 months (range, 1.20-1.96) and to 10 years (range, 1.54-1.99) were large in all dimensions, nevertheless the ESs from 6 months to 10 years were not appreciable for pain (ES = 0.03) or stiffness (ES = 0.09), and small for function (ES = 0.30). CONCLUSIONS Low preoperative HRQOL scores, to be elderly, severe obesity, the presence of some comorbidities -depression and rheumatology disease-, having readmissions or complications and not having rehabilitation of discharge, are good predictors of long-term lower gains in HRQOL. Some other non-registered parameters of the follow-up may also influence those outcomes. KEY INDEXING TERMS (MESH TERMS) Health-Related Quality of Life, Knee Arthroplasty, Total, Osteoarthritis.

Relationships Between Preoperative Mental Health and Improvements in Patient-Reported Outcomes After Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:655-661.e3. [PMID: 36328106 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.10.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor preoperative mental health has been associated with worse outcomes after total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To fully understand these relationships, we assessed post-THA and post-TKA improvements in patient-reported mental and joint health by preoperative mental health groups. METHODS Elective cases (367 THA, 462 TKA) were subgrouped by low (<25th percentile), middle (25th-74th), and high (≥75th) preoperative mental health, using Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. In each subgroup, we assessed the relationship between preoperative MCS and 1-year postoperative change in mental and joint health. Pairwise comparisons and multivariable regression models were applied for THA and TKA separately. RESULTS Median postoperative mental health change was +14.0 points for the low-MCS THA group, +11.1 low-TKA, +2.0 middle-THA and TKA, -4.0 high-THA, and -4.9 high-TKA (between-group differences P < .001). All MCS groups had improved median joint health scores, without significant between-group differences. Preoperative mental health was negatively associated with mental health improvements in all groups (B = -0.94 - -0.68, P < .001-P = .01) but with improvements in joint health only in the low-THA group (B = -0.74, P = .02). Improvements in mental and joint health were positively associated for low and middle (B = 0.61-0.87, P < .001), but not for high-MCS groups, with this relationship differing for the low versus high group. CONCLUSION Patients who have low preoperative mental health experienced greater postoperative mental health improvement and similar joint health improvement compared to patients who have high preoperative mental health. Findings can guide subgroup-targeted surgical decision-making and preoperative counseling.

Ayers DC, Zheng H, Yang W, Yousef M. How Back Pain Affects Patient Satisfaction After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:S103-S108. [PMID: 37001625 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.03.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although back pain (BP) has been shown to be a predictor of dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in some reports, these studies did not use a scale to quantify the degree of pain. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of BP intensity on patient satisfaction reported at 1 year after TKA. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort was taken in which 9,057 patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA were enrolled in FORCE-TJR and demographic and clinical data were collected. Back pain (BP) intensity was assessed using the Oswestry back disability index (ODI) pain intensity questionnaire. Patients were classified into 4 categories based on the severity of BP. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were collected preoperatively and postoperatively after 1 year including the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (total score, pain, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Quality of Life (QOL), Short-Form health survey 36-item (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS), and Mental Component Score (MCS)). We used a validated 5-point Likert satisfaction scale. Univariate analyses of the difference between the satisfied and dissatisfied patients' groups was performed. Multivariate logistic regression models with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to quantify the effect of BP intensity on patient dissatisfaction at 1 year. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed with measurement of area under curve (AUC). RESULTS At 1 year, a total of 1,657 TKA patients (18.3%) were dissatisfied. A total of 4,765 patients (52.6%) reported back pain at the time of surgery, including mild BP in 2,264 patients (24.9%), moderate BP in 1,844 patients (20.3%), and severe BP in 657 patients (7.2%). Severe back pain was significantly associated with patient dissatisfaction at 1 year after TKA (P = .0006). The multivariate regressions showed that patients who had severe BP were 1.6 times more likely to be dissatisfied when compared to patients who had no BP [odds ratio (OR) 1.63; 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.23-2.16), P = .0006]. While patients who had mild BP [OR 0.98; 95% CI (0.82-1.17), P = .87] or moderate BP [OR 0.97; 95% CI (0.80-1.18), P = .78] were not associated with an increased likelihood of dissatisfaction. Other predictive variables for dissatisfaction, include age [OR for younger patients <65 years versus older patients ≥65 years, 0.74; 95% CI (0.59-0.92)], educational level [OR for post high school versus less, 0.83; 95% CI (0.71, 0.97)], smoking [OR for nonsmoker versus current smoker, 0.63; 95% CI (0.45, 0.87)], and Charlson comorbidity index [OR for CCI ≥2 versus 0, 1.25; 95% CI (1.05, 1.49)]. CONCLUSION Increased BP intensity was associated with increased risk of dissatisfaction 1 year after TKA. Only patients who had severe BP were 1.6 times more likely to be dissatisfied. The data presented here can help to improve shared decision-making and patient counseling before surgery. Surgeons should consider a spine evaluation in patients who have severe BP prior to TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little published data currently exist regarding the potential relationships between spondylolisthesis, mismatch deformity, and clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesize that preexisting spondylolisthesis will result in decreased functional outcomes after TKA. METHODS This retrospective cohort comparison of 933 TKAs was performed between January 2017 and 2020. TKAs were excluded if they were not performed for primary osteoarthritis (OA) or if preoperative lumbar radiographs were unavailable/inadequate to measure the degree of spondylolisthesis. Ninety-five TKAs were subsequently available for inclusion and divided into two groups: those with spondylolisthesis and those without. Within the spondylolisthesis cohort, pelvic incidence (PI) and lumbar lordosis (LL) were calculated on lateral radiographs to determine the difference (PI-LL). Radiographs with PI-LL > 10° were then categorized as having mismatch deformity (MD). The following clinical outcomes were compared between the groups: need for manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), total postoperative arc of motion (AOM) both pre-MUA or post-MUA/revision, incidence of flexion contracture, and a need for later revision. RESULTS Forty-nine TKAs met the spondylolisthesis criteria, while 44 did not have spondylolisthesis. There were no significant differences in gender, body mass index, preoperative knee range of motion (ROM), preoperative AOM, or opiate use between the groups. TKAs with spondylolisthesis and concomitant MD were more likely to have MUA (p = 0.016), ROM < 0-120 (p < 0.014), and a decreased AOM (p < 0.02) without interventions. CONCLUSION Preexisting spondylolisthesis by itself may not have adverse effect clinical results following TKA. However, spondylolisthesis increases the likelihood of developing MD. In those with both spondylolisthesis and concomitant mismatch deformities, patients had statistically and clinically significantly decreased in postoperative ROM/AOM and increased need for MUA. Surgeons should consider clinical/radiographic assessments of patients with chronic back pain who present for total joint arthroplasty. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3.

J Arthroplasty 2023:S0883-5403(23)00128-6. [PMID: 36805116 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.02.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There appears to be substantial variability in outcomes > 2 years following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that is masked by whole group analyses. The goal of the study was to identify trajectories of pain and function outcomes up to 5 to 8 years post-TKA and to identify baseline factors that are associated with different trajectories of recovery. METHODS Baseline, 6-month, and 12-month pain and function data were collected in a previous study investigating predictors of outcome following primary TKA (n = 286), along with a variety of baseline predictor variables. The present study obtained pain and function data at 5 to 8 years following TKA in the same cohort (n = 201). Latent class linear mixed models were used to identify different classes of pain and functional trajectories over time. The extent to which differences across latent classes were explained by baseline predictor variables was determined. RESULTS Three classes of pain and two classes of function trajectory were identified. While most patients (84% to 93%) followed a trajectory that showed an initial rapid gain following surgery that was sustained through 5 to 8 years, both pain and function included at least one trajectory class that showed a meaningful change after 12 months. No predictor variables were significantly associated with either the pain or function classes. CONCLUSIONS Most patients follow a traditional trajectory of recovery in knee pain and function over 5 to 8 years. However, alternative trajectories are observed in an important minority of patients such that knee pain and function at 12 months after surgery does not always reflect outcomes at 5 to 8 years.

The use of an individualized intraoperative video shows no impact on the early postoperative clinical outcome after total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023:10.1007/s00402-022-04755-0. [PMID: 36598603 PMCID: PMC10374815 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04755-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the potential of an intraoperatively recorded video shown to patients immediately postoperatively on early outcome after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The hypothesis was that there is a beneficial outcome concerning range of motion (ROM) and patient-reported outcome due to enhanced trust into the artificial joint. METHODS Seventy-three patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to two study groups in which they were either shown a video of their own postoperative range of motion or they were not. Clinically, the New Knee Society Score (nKSS) and ROM were evaluated and compared between the groups 6 weeks after surgery. Chi-square exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and the Wilcoxon signed rank test were used. Inter- and intra-class correlations were calculated for measurements of ROM. RESULTS No clinically relevant differences were observed preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperatively between both groups in range of motion (ROM). All patients were showing a significantly improved clinical outcome 6 weeks after the procedure. Clinical scores showed statistically significant differences with respect to preoperative nKSS for satisfaction and statistically significant differences with respect to postoperative nKSS for function. CONCLUSION Showing a video filmed immediately after implantation of primary TKA had no significant effect on ROM and clinical outcome at 6 weeks. We believe that face-to-face verbal communication in combination with video-assisted education ensures that patients understand their artificial joint in the best possible way and will continue to use intraoperatively filmed videos to enhance patient engagement during postoperative rehabilitation.

Abstract
Aims & objectives In clinical practice, arthroplasties are predominantly indicated by clinical and radiological assessment of osteoarthritis. Pain and function are individually considered, but a comprehensive analysis of differences in symptom reporting by pre-operative factors is lacking. In the present study, we determined differences in patient reported outcome measures between demographic groups among patients admitted to total knee arthroplasty. Materials & methods Between 2010 and 2019, we collected pre-operative Oxford Knee Scores, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, quality of life in 2555 patients undergoing primary, osteoarthritis-indicated total knee arthroplasty at Patients were categorized by sex, age (<70, 70-80, >80 years), body mass index (BMI <25, 25-30, 30-35, >35 kg/m2), American Society of Anesthesiologists -classification (ASA 1, 2, ≥3) and Charnley score (A, B1, B2, C). Symptom scores (median, IQR) were compared using bivariate and multivariate methods. Results The cohort was 60% female, 70.0 years old (69.4-70.1), and BMI was 28.9 kg/m2 (29.6-30.0). As compared to bivariate analyses, between-group differences in multivariate analyses were consistently smaller. BMI and sex remain significant predictors after adjustment for age, ASA, and Charnley. Age, ASA, and Charnley were no independent predictors of symptom scores. A group of patients (30%) reported no physical dysfunction, and less symptom severity in pain and stiffness. Conclusion This study is the first to show that differences in symptom reporting between demographic groups are partly colinear, and are negligible for prediction of symptoms. Lastly, for a significant proportion of patients, patient-reported outcome measures do not adequately present disease severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient self-assessment of knee function in end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) and following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has become standard for defining disability. The relationship of PROMs to functional performance requires a continued investigation. The purpose of this study was to determine correlations between patient demographics, PROMs, and functional performances using a marker-less image capture system (MICS). METHODS Patients indicated for elective TKA completed the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS-JR) and an office-based functional assessment using a MICS. Patient age, body mass index (BMI), and gender were collected. A total of 112 patients were enrolled. Their mean age was 65.0 (±9.7) years, mean BMI was 32.5 (±6.6) kg/m2, and mean KOOS-JR was 14.5 (±5.7). The relationships between patient characteristics, KOOS-JR, MICS Alignment (coronal), MICS Mobility (flexion), and composite Total Joint scores were described using Spearman's correlation coefficients. RESULTS BMI was weakly correlated with KOOS-JR (ρ = -0.22, P = .024), whereas age was not. Age and BMI were not correlated with performance scores. There were weak to no correlations between KOOS-JR and MICS Alignment (ρ = -0.01, P = .951), Mobility (ρ = 0.33, P < .001), and Total Joint scores (ρ = 0.06, P = .504). CONCLUSION This study found no strong correlation between KOOS-JR and functional performance using a validated MICS for patients with end-stage knee OA. Further study is warranted in determining the relationship between PROMs and performance to optimize outcomes of patients undergoing nonoperative or surgical interventions for knee OA. The use of high-fidelity functional assessment tools that can be integrated into clinical workflow, such as the MICS used in this study, should permit PROM/functional performance comparisons in large populations.

Abstract
There is currently a paucity of data regarding the potential relationships between preexisting spinal deformity and clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We sought to expand upon this deficit. We hypothesize that lumbar sagittal mismatch deformity (MD) will correlate with a decrease in functional outcomes after TKA. This retrospective cohort comparison of 933 TKAs was performed between January 2017 and 2020. TKAs were excluded if they were not performed for primary osteoarthritis (OA) or if preoperative lumbar radiographs were unavailable/inadequate to measure sagittal parameters of interest: pelvic incidence, sacral slope, pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis, and deformity mismatch. Ninety-four TKAs were subsequently available for inclusion and divided into two groups: those with MD as defined by |PI-LL| > 10 degrees and those without MD. The following clinical outcomes were compared between the groups: total postoperative arc of motion (AOM), incidence of flexion contracture, and need for manipulation under anesthesia (MUA). In total, 53 TKAs met the MD criteria, while 41 did not have MD. There were no significant differences in demographics, body mass index, preoperative knee range of motion (ROM), preoperative AOM, or opiate use between the groups. TKAs with MD were more likely to have MUA (p = 0.026), ROM <0 to 120 (p < 0.001), a decreased AOM by 16 degrees (p < 0.001), and a flexion contracture postoperatively (p = 0.01). Preexisting MD may adversely affect clinical results following TKA. Statistically and clinically significant decreases in postoperative ROM/AOM, increased likelihood of flexion contracture, and increased need for MUA were all noted in those with MD. This is a Level 3 study.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze a combination of preoperative biodata, radiological parameters, and validated functional scores to determine predictors for patient satisfaction in patients who have undergone Hallux abducto valgus (HAV) surgery at 2 years postoperatively. Data from 288 patients who had undergone HAV surgery and 373 cases were collected between 2007 and 2013. The study group measured the HAV angle (HVA), tibial sesamoid position (TSP), as well as inter-metatarsal angle (IMA) on both pre- and postoperative radiographs for all patients. Clinical outcomes such as the Visual Analogue Scale for pain, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale (MTP-ITP) Scale, and Short Form 36 Health Survey's physical and mental component scores (PCS and MCS) were captured preoperatively and postoperatively. Univariate analysis was performed first to determine possible predictors of patient satisfaction and the results were then included in a binary logistic regression model. Independent predictors of patient satisfaction include higher preoperative AOFAS (p value = .028, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.958, 0.998) and the 2 years postoperative AOFAS (p = .001, 95% CI 1.027, 1.114). We also found PCS and MCS scores at 2 years postoperatively to be independent predictors of patient satisfaction (p = .004, 95% CI 1.015, 1.086 and p = .045, 95% CI 1.001, 1.064 respectively). Predictors of patient satisfaction include subjective outcomes such as the AOFAS score and the Short Form 36 composite quality of life scales of PCS and MCS, rather than objective radiological outcomes such as HVA, IMA, and TSP.

Abstract
Background
Surgery can sometimes be the best solution for chronic musculoskeletal pain, but presurgical preparation and postsurgical rehabilitation are often required to achieve the maximum benefits. A digital musculoskeletal surgical care program was developed to support the population of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Objective
We aimed to demonstrate safety, engagement, and acceptability and explore clinical outcomes, health care use, and satisfaction among participants of a digital musculoskeletal surgical care program who were undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Methods
A retrospective, observational feasibility study comparing digital musculoskeletal surgical care program participants to a comparison group was conducted. The intervention group registered for a digital musculoskeletal surgical care program, which included health coaches, physical therapists, and tailored exercises and educational articles to provide preoperative and postoperative support to patients who had recently undergone total knee arthroplasty. Comparison group members received standard-of-care treatment. Engagement (number of exercise therapy sessions and educational articles accessed per week) and acceptability (Net Promoter Score) were examined among intervention group participants. Descriptive statistics for postoperative outcomes, including safety (postoperative complications), clinical improvement (pain, function, anxiety, and depression), and health care use and experiences (length of hospital stay, surgery satisfaction, and physical therapy adherence), were reported for both groups. Differences among postoperative results were compared by using the independent samples 2-tailed t test or Mann-Whitney test for continuous outcomes and the Fisher exact test or chi-square test for categorical outcomes.
Results
Of the 53 participants (intervention group: n=22; comparison group: n=31) who were included in this study, 35 (66%) were female and 25 (47%) were aged from 45 to 60 years. On average, the intervention group completed 23 exercise sessions, read 2.7 educational articles, sent 45.5 texts to their health coaches, and were actively engaged for 6 weeks after their operation. Among 21 participants, 14 (67%) self-reported as promoters on the Net Promoter Score scale. Intervention group members reported fewer postoperative complications (6/22, 27%) than the comparison group (15/31, 48%), and they experienced better outcomes with regard to function (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score–Physical Function Short Form—intervention group: mean 23.0; comparison group: mean 32.5), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire 2-Item—intervention group: mean 0.4; comparison group: mean 1.6), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder 2-Item—intervention group: mean 0.6; comparison group: mean 1.5), and impressions of change (Patient Global Impression of Change—intervention group: median 7.0; comparison group: median 6.0). Intervention group participants also reported less health care use, better adherence to their physical therapy exercises, and higher surgery satisfaction.
Conclusions
Our digital musculoskeletal surgical care program shows promising levels of engagement and acceptability among those who recently underwent total knee arthroplasty. The surgical care program may also help with improving postsurgical complications and clinical outcomes and lowering health care use.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE More than 1 in 5 patients do not experience improved physical function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Identification of factors associated with physical function may be warranted to improve outcomes in these patients. OBJECTIVE To identify preoperative and intraoperative factors associated with physical function at 12 months after TKA in a systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Data from January 2000 to October 2021 were searched in Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). No language restrictions were applied. STUDY SELECTION Prospective observational studies or randomized clinical trials on factors associated with physical function after TKA in adult patients with osteoarthritis were selected. A prespecified peer-reviewed protocol was followed. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guideline, 2 reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts and judged risk of bias using Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS). Multivariate random-effects meta-analyses were performed to estimate mean correlations between factors and physical function with 95% CIs. Sensitivity analyses were conducted for each QUIPS domain. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE). This study was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was physical function 12 months after TKA. Secondary outcomes were physical function 3 and 6 months after TKA. All estimates are mean correlations between factors and postoperative function. Positive correlations correspond to better function. RESULTS Among 12 052 articles, 20 studies (including 11 317 patients and 37 factors) were analyzed. Mean correlation with higher BMI was estimated to be -0.15 (95% CI, -0.24 to -0.05; P = .33; moderate-certainty evidence), while mean correlation with better physical function was estimated to be 0.14 (95% CI, 0.02 to 0.26; P = .03; low-certainty evidence) and mean correlation with more severe osteoarthritis was estimated to be 0.10 (95% CI, 0.01 to 0.19; P = .17; high-certainty evidence). In sensitivity analyses, mean correlation with better physical function was estimated to be 0.20 (95% CI, 0.04 to 0.36; P = .02), and so perhaps a larger coefficient than in the main analysis, while mean correlations were estimated to be similar for other factors (BMI: -0.17; 95% CI, -0.28 to -0.06; P < .001; osteoarthritis severity: 0.10; 95% CI, -0.01 to 0.20; P = .05). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that higher presurgical BMI was correlated with worse physical function (with moderate certainty) and that better physical function (low certainty) and osteoarthritis severity (high certainty) were correlated with better physical function after TKA. These findings suggest that these factors should be included when testing predictive models of TKA outcomes.

Abstract
The informed consent (IC) of subjects participating in experimental studies is the mainstay to comply with the ethical principle of autonomy to ensure that the participation is voluntary. This experience was performed within the context of a single-center randomized clinical trial in elective prosthetic surgery. Obtaining IC in clinical trials is not without difficulties, and especially in the case of vulnerable populations it can be very challenging. This work aimed to identify the difficulties during the IC process for a clinical trial in subjects older than 65 years old and quantify and describe the use of IC in front of a witness. Methods: This is a mixed methodology study with a qualitative part (focus group with 4 nurses involved in the inclusion of subjects) and a quantitative part describing the characteristics of patients who signed IC forms. Results: The main difficulties identified are related to comprehension, sensory impairments, education level, and time. IC in front of witnesses was used in 20 patients out of 508. Conclusions: The participation of subjects older than 65 years old in clinical trials requires an adaptation of the process. The use of IC in front of a witness should always be considered in studies including elderly subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant malalignment may be a risk factor for poor patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Postoperative surveys were administered to assess PROMs regarding satisfaction, pain, and function in 262 patients who underwent surgery at 4 centers in the U.S. and U.K (average age, 67.2) at a mean 5.5 years after primary TKA. Postoperative distal femoral angle (DFA), proximal tibial angle (PTA), and posterior tibial slope angle (PSA) were radiographically measured, and outliers were recorded. PROMs were compared between patients with aligned versus malaligned knees using univariate analysis. RESULTS Patients with DFA, PTA, and PSA outliers were more likely to experience similar or decreased activity levels postoperatively than patients with no alignment outliers, as were patients with 1 or 2 outliers of any kind (P < .05). Patients with DFA, PTA, and PSA outliers were significantly more likely to be dissatisfied with their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), as were patients with 1 or 2 outliers of any kind (P < .05). Patients with DFA and PSA outliers were more likely to be dissatisfied with their degree of pain relief, as were patients with 2 outliers of any kind (P < .05). Finally, patients with DFA and PSA outliers, as well as those with 1 outlier of any kind, were more likely to be dissatisfied with their overall knee function (P < .05). CONCLUSION DFA, PTA, and PSA outliers represent a significant risk factor for decreased satisfaction with activities of daily living(ADLs), pain relief, and knee function, as well as decreased activity levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duloxetine is indicated in the management of pain in osteoarthritis. Evidence suggests that duloxetine modulate central pain mechanisms and cognitive factors, and these factors are assumed contributing to the analgesic effect. This proof-of-mechanism, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover, double-blinded trial evaluated the effect of duloxetine on quantitative sensory testing (QST), cognitive factors, and clinical pain in patients with osteoarthritis and to predict the analgesic effect. METHODS Twenty-five patients completed this cross-over study with either 18-weeks duloxetine (maximum 60 mg/daily) followed by placebo or vice-versa. Pressure pain thresholds, temporal summation of pain, and conditioned pain modulation were assessed using cuff algometry. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale evaluated cognitive factors. Clinical pain was assessed using Brief Pain Inventory and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. Linear regression models were used to predict the analgesic effect of duloxetine. RESULTS Depending on the clinical pain outcome, 40-68% of patients were classified as responders to duloxetine. Linear regression models predicted the analgesic effect (predictive value of 45-75% depending on clinical pain outcome parameter) using a combination of pre-treatment QST parameters, cognitive factors, and clinical pain. No significant changes were found for QST, cognitive factors, or clinical pain on a group level when comparing duloxetine to placebo. CONCLUSION A combination of pre-treatment QST, cognitive factors, and clinical pain was able to predict the analgesic response of duloxetine. However, in this relatively small study, duloxetine did not selectively modulate QST, cognitive factors, or clinical pain intensity when compared with placebo.

Multimodal prediction of pain and functional outcomes 6 months following total knee replacement: a prospective cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:302.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most common and disabling persistent pain conditions, with increasing prevalence and impact around the globe. In the U.S., the rising prevalence of knee OA has been paralleled by an increase in annual rates of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a surgical treatment option for late-stage knee OA. While TKA outcomes are generally good, post-operative trajectories of pain and functional status vary substantially; a significant minority of patients report ongoing pain and impaired function following TKA. A number of studies have identified sets of biopsychosocial risk factors for poor post-TKA outcomes (e.g., comorbidities, negative affect, sensory sensitivity), but few prospective studies have systematically evaluated the unique and combined influence of a broad array of factors. METHODS This multi-site longitudinal cohort study investigated predictors of 6-month pain and functional outcomes following TKA. A wide spectrum of relevant biopsychosocial predictors was assessed preoperatively by medical history, patient-reported questionnaire, functional testing, and quantitative sensory testing in 248 patients undergoing TKA, and subsequently examined for their predictive capacity. RESULTS The majority of patients had mild or no pain at 6 months, and minimal pain-related impairment, but approximately 30% reported pain intensity ratings of 3/10 or higher. Reporting greater pain severity and dysfunction at 6 months post-TKA was predicted by higher preoperative levels of negative affect, prior pain history, opioid use, and disrupted sleep. Interestingly, lower levels of resilience-related "positive" psychosocial characteristics (i.e., lower agreeableness, lower social support) were among the strongest, most consistent predictors of poor outcomes in multivariable linear regression models. Maladaptive profiles of pain modulation (e.g., elevated temporal summation of pain), while not robust unique predictors, interacted with psychosocial risk factors such that the TKA patients with the most pain and dysfunction exhibited lower resilience and enhanced temporal summation of pain. CONCLUSIONS This study underscores the importance of considering psychosocial (particularly positively-oriented resilience variables) and sensory profiles, as well as their interaction, in understanding post-surgical pain trajectories.

A Comparison of Clinical Outcomes and Implant Preference of Patients with Bilateral TKA: One Knee with a Patient-Specific and One Knee with an Off-the-Shelf Implant. JBJS Rev 2022; 10:01874474-202202000-00003.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare clinical outcome results, perceived function, and overall preference among patients who had undergone staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a cruciate-retaining, customized implant (customized TKA, or C-TKA) in 1 knee and an off-the-shelf (OTS) implant in the contralateral knee. METHODS Forty-seven patients (94 knees) from a single study center who underwent C-TKA in 1 knee and had previously undergone TKA with an OTS implant in the contralateral knee were included in this study. As the primary outcome measures, the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR) and the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) were self-administered by the study subjects at a single follow-up time point. Additionally, a follow-up questionnaire to compare patients' perceived joint stability, knee mobility, perceived feeling of the replaced joint, pain levels, and overall preference between their knees was administered. RESULTS The average follow-up was 2.3 years (range, 0.7 to 3.8 years) for C-TKA and 6.7 years (range, 1.6 to 11.1 years) for the OTS TKA. Significantly higher KOOS, JR (82 versus 77; p = 0.03) and FJS (68 versus 58; p = 0.04) results were found with C-TKA. The evaluation of the follow-up questionnaire showed that more patients reported having "a little" or "a lot" less pain (49% versus 15%), better perceived mobility (45% versus 12%) and stability (36% versus 13%), and a more "normal" feeling of their knee (60% versus 10%) with the C-TKA implant compared with their OTS counterpart. When patients were asked to directly compare their knees, we found that 72.3% of the patients preferred the knee that received C-TKA over the contralateral OTS knee replacement, with 21.3% seeing no difference and 6.4% preferring the OTS knee replacement. CONCLUSIONS We believe that this is the first study to examine patient-reported outcomes of customized and OTS TKA implant designs in the same patient. We conclude that patients in this study cohort who underwent staged bilateral TKA with a C-TKA implant in 1 knee and an OTS prosthesis in the other knee reported better for their patient-specific knee replacement, with higher FJS and KOOS, JR values, and overall, preferred the C-TKA knee more often compared with the OTS knee replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the influence of sex on patient-reported outcomes preoperatively and following total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis. METHODS Patients who had undergone total ankle replacement or ankle arthrodesis for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis and who had ≥2 years of follow-up were identified from the Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Prospective Ankle Reconstruction Database. Standard surgical techniques and implantation methods were followed, and STAR, Hintegra, Mobility, and Agility prostheses were used. Data were collected on patient demographics, revisions, secondary procedures, complications, Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS) scores, Short Form-36 (SF-36) scores, and expectations and satisfaction. Statistical analyses included 3-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression models controlling for inflammatory arthritis, age, preoperative scores, and surgery type. RESULTS The study included 872 patients: 629 who had undergone total ankle replacement (316 men, 313 women) and 243 who had undergone ankle arthrodesis (154 men, 89 women). The mean duration of follow-up (and standard deviation) was 4.9 ± 2.4 and 4.0 ± 1.9 years for the total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis groups, respectively. Men were older than women (p ≤ 0.001). In both the total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis groups, women had higher AOS pain scores (i.e., more pain) than men preoperatively (p < 0.05). Pain was reduced significantly in both sexes postoperatively (p < 0.05), with no significant difference between sexes. In both the total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis groups, women had higher AOS disability scores (i.e., more disability) and lower SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) scores (i.e., worse function) than men both preoperatively and postoperatively (p < 0.001). Postoperatively, AOS disability and SF-36 PCS scores improved significantly from baseline in both sexes (p < 0.001). After controlling for covariates, sex was not a significant predictor of postoperative SF-36 MCS (Mental Component Summary), AOS pain, or AOS disability scores (p > 0.05) but explained 0.5% of variance in SF-36 PCS scores (p = 0.03). Sex did not significantly influence preoperative expectations or postoperative satisfaction. When patients with inflammatory arthritis were excluded, preoperative and postoperative outcome measures, expectations, and satisfaction were similar. CONCLUSIONS Men and women with end-stage ankle arthritis benefited from total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis with similar magnitudes of improvement. Small differences in pain and function between men and women undergoing total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis mostly disappeared when controlling for potential confounding variables. Both total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis remain good options for men and women with end-stage ankle arthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Do Sex and Pain Characteristics Influence the Effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience Education in People Scheduled for Total Knee Arthroplasty? Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial. Phys Ther 2021; 101:6352443. [PMID: 34459493 DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzab197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2020] [Revised: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This explorative study investigates the moderating effect of sex and baseline pain characteristics on the effectiveness of preoperative pain neuroscience education (PNE) plus knee joint mobilization versus biomedical education plus knee joint mobilization in patients who have knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS After baseline assessment of self-reported questionnaires (pain intensity, disability, symptoms of central sensitization and pain cognitions) and quantitative sensory testing, 44 participants with knee osteoarthritis were randomized into the PNE plus knee joint mobilization or biomedical education plus knee joint mobilization group. The questionnaires were retaken directly after and 1 month after 4 sessions of treatment and at 3 months after surgery. Based on baseline quantitative sensory testing results, the sample was subdivided into a high (showing high experimental pain levels and low pressure pain thresholds) and low pain cluster using principal components analysis and cluster analysis. Therapy effects over time were evaluated using 3-way analysis of variance, with time as the within factor and treatment, sex, and baseline pain cluster as between factors. RESULTS Women benefited significantly more from the PNE intervention compared with the control intervention in terms of self-reported symptoms of central sensitization. For both pain clusters, differences in therapeutic effects concerning pain intensity and pain cognitions were found, with higher superiority of the PNE intervention in the high-pain cluster subgroup compared with the low-pain cluster. CONCLUSION Based on these explorative analyses, it can be concluded that sex and preoperative pain measures may influence the effectiveness of preoperative PNE for some specific outcome measures in people scheduled to undergo TKA. IMPACT Although further research on this topic is needed, the potential influence of sex and preoperative pain measures on the effectiveness of preoperative PNE should be considered when implementing this intervention in people undergoing TKA.

Impact of Preoperative Total Knee Arthroplasty on Radiological and Clinical Outcomes of Spinal Fusion for Concurrent Knee Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Diseases. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10194475. [PMID: 34640493 PMCID: PMC8509257 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10194475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Revised: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Concurrent knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and degenerative lumbar spinal disease (LSD) has increased, but the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) effect on degenerative LSD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze to compare radiological and clinical outcomes between spinal fusion only and preoperative TKA with spinal fusion for the patients with concurrent KOA and degenerative LSD. A total of 72 patients with concurrent KOA and degenerative LSDs who underwent spinal fusion at less than three levels were divided in two groups: non-TKA group (n = 50) and preoperative TKA group (n = 22). Preoperative lumbar lordosis (LL) was significantly lower in the preoperative TKA group than the non-TKA group (p < 0.05). Significantly higher preoperative pelvic incidence (PI), PI/LL mismatch, and pelvic tilt (PT) occurred in preoperative TKA group than non-TKA group (all p < 0.05). There was significant improvement of postoperative Oswestry Disability Index and leg Visual Analog Scale in the preoperative TKA group (all p < 0.01). Preoperative TKA could be a benefit for in proper correction of sagittal spinopelvic alignment by spinal fusion. Therefore, preoperative TKA could be considered a preceding surgical option for patients with severe sagittal spinopelvic parameters in concurrent KOA and degenerative LSD.

Abstract
➤ There is a growing body of evidence implicating psychosocial factors, including anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing, as negative prognostic factors following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ➤ Symptoms of anxiety and depression likely represent risk factors for negative outcomes in patients undergoing TKA. However, few studies have assessed the impact of preoperative interventions for these conditions on postoperative outcomes. ➤ The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and the Central Sensitization Inventory have demonstrated value in the diagnosis of kinesiophobia and central sensitization. Higher preoperative indices of kinesiophobia and central sensitization predict worse patient-reported outcomes postoperatively. ➤ Although evidence is limited, cognitive-behavioral therapy for kinesiophobia and duloxetine for central sensitization may help to diminish the negative impact of these preoperative comorbidities. It is important to note, however, that outside the realm of TKA, cognitive-behavioral therapy has been recognized as a more effective treatment for central sensitization than medical treatment. ➤ Awareness of these issues will allow surgeons to better prepare patients regarding postoperative expectations in the setting of a comorbid psychosocial risk factor. Further research into the role of preoperative assessment and possible treatment of these conditions in patients undergoing TKA is warranted.

Abstract
AIMS The goal of the current systematic review was to assess the impact of implant placement accuracy on outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the Ovid Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science databases in order to assess the impact of the patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) and implant placement accuracy on outcomes following TKA. Studies assessing the impact of implant alignment, rotation, size, overhang, or condylar offset were included. Study quality was assessed, evidence was graded (one-star: no evidence, two-star: limited evidence, three-star: moderate evidence, four-star: strong evidence), and recommendations were made based on the available evidence. RESULTS A total of 49 studies were identified for inclusion. With respect to PROMs, there was two-star evidence in support of mechanical axis alignment (MAA), femorotibial angle (FTA), femoral coronal angle (FCA), tibial coronal angle (TCA), femoral sagittal angle (FSA), femoral rotation, tibial and combined rotation/mismatch, and implant size/overhang or offset on PROMs, and one-star evidence in support of tibial sagittal angle (TSA), impacting PROMs. With respect to survival, there was three- to four-star evidence in support FTA, FCA, TCA, and TSA, moderate evidence in support of femoral rotation, tibial and combined rotation/mismatch, and limited evidence in support of MAA, FSA, and implant size/overhang or offset impacting survival. CONCLUSION Overall, there is limited evidence to suggest that PROMs are impacted by the accuracy of implant placement, and malalignment does not appear to be a significant driver of the observed high rates of patient dissatisfaction following TKA. However, FTA, FCA, TCA, TSA, and implant rotation demonstrate a moderate-strong relationship with implant survival. Efforts should be made to improve the accuracy of these parameters in order to improve TKA survival. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(9):1449-1456.

Abstract
Recently, a variety of studies have analyzed the potential correlation between lumbar degenerative disease (LDD) and inferior clinical outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. However, there has been limited data concerning the role of LDD as a risk factor for failure after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of our study was to determine: (1) what is the association of LDDs with TKA failure (all-cause revision) within 2 years of index arthroplasty and (2) if patients with LDD and lumbar fusion are at increased risk of TKA revision within 2 years compared with LDD patients without fusion. Data were collected from the Humana insurance database using the PearlDiver database from 2007 to 2017. To assess aim 1, patients were stratified into two groups based on a prior history of LDD (International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-9 or -10 diagnostic codes). To analyze aim 2, patients within the LDD cohort were stratified based on the presence of lumbar fusion (lumbar fusion Current Procedural Terminology code). All-cause revision rate was 3.4% among LDD patients versus 2.4% of patients with non-LDD (p < 0.001) at 2 years. Following multivariate analysis, LDD patients were at increased risk of all-cause revision surgery at 2 years (odds ratio [OR]: 1.361; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.238-1.498; p < 0.001) as well as aseptic loosening (OR: 1.533; 95% CI: 1.328-1.768; p < 0.001), periprosthetic joint infection (OR: 1.245; 95% CI: 1.129-1.373; p < 0.001), and periprosthetic fracture (OR: 1.521; 95% CI: 1.229-1.884; p < 0.001). Among LDD patients, patients who have a lumbar fusion had an all-cause revision rate of 5.0%, compared with 3.2% among LDD with no lumbar fusion patients at 2 years (p = 0.021). Following multivariate analysis, lumbar fusion patients were at increased risk of all-cause revision surgery (OR: 1.402; 95% CI: 1.362-1.445; p = 0.028), aseptic loosening (OR: 1.432; 95% CI: 1.376-1.489; p = 0.042), and periprosthetic fracture (OR: 1.302; 95% CI: 1.218-1.392; p = 0.037). Based on these findings, TKA candidates with preoperative LDD should be counseled that TKA outcome may be impaired by the coexistence of lumbar spine degenerative disease. This is Level III therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A higher prevalence of mental health conditions has been reported in patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). This study investigated the effect of preoperative mental health on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction after rTKA. METHODS A total of 245 patients who underwent rTKA in 2004-2018 were identified from our institutional joint registry. The most common indications were aseptic loosening (n = 111), infection (n = 70), and instability (n = 35). 36-item Short-Form health survey (SF-36) mental component summary (MCS) was used to stratify the cohort into: Low-MCS (SF-36 MCS <50; n = 112) and control (SF-36 MCS ≥50; n = 133) groups. Knee Society score, Oxford knee score, SF-36 physical score, and a satisfaction questionnaire were used to compare the low-MCS and control at 6 months and 2 years. RESULTS All PROMs were poorer in the low-MCS group at 6 months and 2 years. However, both groups demonstrated a comparable improvement in each PROM and a similar proportion attained the minimal clinically important difference. Fewer patients in the low-MCS group were satisfied at 2 years (72.2% vs 84.5%, P = .045). Lower preoperative SF-36 MCS was independently associated with increased odds of dissatisfaction (OR 1.037, 95% CI 1.004-1.070, P = .027). Although the change in SF-36 MCS was greater in the low-MCS group, the final value remained lower at 2 years. CONCLUSION While patients with poor mental health had inferior PROMs preoperatively and postoperatively, a similar percentage experienced a clinically meaningful improvement at 2 years. Perioperative optimization of psychological factors should still be emphasized as these patients were at a higher risk of dissatisfaction after rTKA.

Abstract
» Mental health and psychosocial factors play a critical role in clinical outcomes in orthopaedic surgery. » The biopsychosocial model of disease defines health as a product of physiology, psychology, and social factors and, traditionally, has not been as emphasized in the care of musculoskeletal disease. » Improvement in postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction is incumbent upon the screening, recognition, assessment, and possible referral of patients with high-risk psychosocial factors both before and after the surgical procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most common kinematic abnormalities reported for posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) design is paradoxical anterior sliding during early and mid-flexion. PS TKAs have been designed such that the cam-post mechanism does not engage until later in flexion, making these implants vulnerable to anterior sliding during early and mid-flexion. The objective of this study is to investigate the biomechanical effect of increasing bearing conformity on a PS TKA. METHODS Using a validated computational model of the knee joint, the sagittal conformity of the medial plateau of a PS TKA design was altered. Three scenarios were created and evaluated for mechanics: (1) baseline conformity, (2) increased conformity, and (3) decreased conformity. RESULTS From full extension to approximately 70° of knee flexion, the medial condyle demonstrated minimal anterior sliding for the increased medial conformity design but revealed anterior sliding of 2 and 4 mm for the baseline and decreased conformity designs, respectively. After cam-post engagement, the medial condyle consistently rolled back for all 3 designs. The lateral condyle experienced consistent rollback throughout the entire flexion range for all 3 designs. However, femorotibial contact force was higher for the increased conformity design, peaking at 3.13 times body weight (×BW) compared to 3.0 × BW contact force for other 2 designs. CONCLUSION Increasing medial conformity of the bearing insert appears to reduce mid-flexion sliding for PS TKA designs, although this comes at the expense of increased femorotibial forces. This could be due to kinematic conflicts that may be introduced with highly constraining designs.

Abstract
Although numerous studies have demonstrated that concomitant low back pain (LBP) is associated with worse functional outcomes in patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty, no study has analyzed its impact on patients undergoing total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of LBP in people undergoing TAA and analyze its impact on patient reported functional outcome measures (PROMs). A retrospective review was performed on data from the Vancouver End Stage Ankle Arthritis Database. In total, 87 patients undergoing TAA were studied, with patient demographics collected preoperatively, including the absence or presence of LBP. Postoperative follow-up was performed at 5 years, primarily analyzing disease-specific PROMs including the Ankle Osteoarthritis Score and Ankle Arthritis Score. The Short Form-36 was used as a secondary outcome measure to assess global function. Multivariable linear mixed-effects regression models were conducted to compare the PROM between patients with LBP with those without LBP. In total, 30 patients (35%) presented with concomitant LBP. There were no significant differences at baseline between the LBP group and no LBP group in terms of demographics or baseline primary disease-specific PROMs. At 5 years, the patients with LBP had significantly worse Ankle Arthritis Score (32 ± 23 vs 22 ± 17, p = .03), Ankle Osteoarthritis Score Total (34 ± 23 vs 22 ± 16, p = .01), and Short Form-36 physical (PCS) components summaries (33 ± 12 vs 44 ± 9, p = .001) compared to the no-LBP group. Both groups improved significantly from baseline across all outcome measures. Our study demonstrated that the prevalence of concomitant LBP in end stage ankle arthritis undergoing TAA is similar to that described in arthritic knees and hips. If present, it can be associated with worse functional outcomes in the intermediate term. However it is not a contraindication to surgery, with patients still experiencing significant improvements from baseline. Further studies are needed to evaluate if LBP influences complications, implant failure rates and survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE Back pain may both decrease patient satisfaction after TKA and confound outcome assessment in satisfied patients. Our primary objective was to determine whether preoperative back pain is associated with differences in postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 234 primary TKA patients who completed PROMs preoperatively and 12 weeks postoperatively, which included a back pain questionnaire, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS JR) and the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12). Cohorts were defined based on the severity of preoperative back pain (none, mild, moderate and severe) and compared. Demographics were compared using ANOVA and Chi-square analysis. Univariate ANCOVA analysis was utilized to compare PROMs while accounting for significant demographic differences. RESULTS Both preoperative KOOS JR scores (none: 47.90, mild: 47.61, moderate: 44.61 and severe: 38.70; p = 0.013) and 12-week postoperative KOOS JR scores (none: 61.24, mild: 64.94, moderate: 57.48 and severe: 57.01; p = 0.012) had a statistically significant inverse relationship with regard to the intensity of preoperative back pain. Although FJS-12 scores at the 12-week postoperative period trended lower with increasing levels of preoperative back pain (p = 0.362), it did not reach statistical significance. Patients who reported severe back pain preoperatively achieved the largest delta improvement from baseline compared to those with lesser pain intensity (p = 0.003). Patients who had a 2-grade improvement in their back pain achieved significantly higher KOOS JR scores 12 weeks postoperatively compared to patients with either 1-grade or no improvement (63.53 vs. 55.98; p = 0.042). Both preoperative (47.99 vs. 41.11; p = 0.003) and 12-week postoperative (64.06 vs. 55.73; p < 0.001) KOOS JR scores were statistically higher for those who reported mild or no back pain pre-and postoperatively than those who reported moderate or severe back pain pre-and postoperatively. CONCLUSION Knee pain and back pain both exert negative effects on outcome instruments designed to measure pain and function. Although mean improvement from pre- to postoperative KOOS JR scores for patients with severe pre-existing back pain was higher than their counterparts, this statistical difference is likely not clinically significant. This implies that all patients may experience similar benefits from TKA despite the presence or absence of back pain. Attempts to measure TKA outcomes using PROMs should seek to control for lumbago and other sources of body pain. Level of Evidence IIIRetrospective Cohort Study.

Methods Fifty-two patients undergoing unilateral TKA were assessed preoperatively with Oxford Happiness Inventory, Eysenck Personality Inventory, 12-item short form health survey (SF-12), and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for evaluating depression, personality traits, physical and mental health, and function, respectively. At 1 year after surgery, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and function were assessed using the SF-12 and KOOS. Results HRQL and function of all personality traits increased significantly after TKA, without significant difference among them. Extroversion and neuroticism did not have significant correlation with subjective well-being, HRQL, and function before and after surgery. Subjective well-being and the baseline physical and mental health scores were correlated strongly and directly with postoperative physical component summary, mental component summary, and KOOS scores and their improvement. Among many factors that significantly affected the outcomes of TKA, the only independent predictor of physical, mental, and functional outcome was depression. Conclusions Outcomes of surgery were not significantly different among diverse personality traits. Patients with less depressive symptoms and higher baseline mental and physical scores had significantly greater improvement in HRQL after surgery. The only independent factor affecting the physical, mental, and functional outcome was depression.

Quality of life, chronic pain, insomnia, and jaw malfunction in patients after alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement: a questionnaire-based pilot study. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:948-955. [PMID: 33162296 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2020.09.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Revised: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Studies of patients undergoing alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacement seldom report on quality of life (QoL) and sleep. The aim of this pilot study was to assess these factors in such a patient cohort using validated psychometric questionnaires. Data were collected via online surveys comprising the following six questionnaires: Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12), Patient Health Questionnaire-15, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30, Insomnia Severity Index, Graded Chronic Pain Scale, and Jaw Disability List. Pain intensity, limitation in nutrition, and treatment satisfaction were assessed using numerical rating scales. Mouth opening was measured at follow-up. The SF-12 Physical Composite Score was markedly lower than that of the age-matched general population, whereas the Mental Composite Score did not differ significantly. Participants indicated a low somatization level and low level of disability due to pain, but reduced QoL. Clinically relevant insomnia was reported by 36% of participants. In conclusion, the results of this pilot study indicate that QoL and sleep in patients with a total temporomandibular joint replacement differ from those in the general population, indicating the need for a comprehensive outcome assessment utilizing validated psychometric tools in accordance with the current biopsychosocial model of chronic disorders.

Abstract
Introduction The primary aim of this study was to describe a baseline comparison of early knee-specific functional outcomes following revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using metaphyseal sleeves with a matched cohort of patients undergoing primary TKA. The secondary aim was to compare incidence of complications and length of stay (LOS) between the two groups. Methods Patients undergoing revision TKA for all diagnoses between 2009 and 2016 had patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) collected prospectively. PROMs consisted of the American Knee Society Score (AKSS) and Short-Form 12 (SF-12). The study cohort was identified retrospectively and demographics were collected. The cohort was matched to a control group of patients undergoing primary TKA. Results Overall, 72 patients underwent revision TKA and were matched with 72 primary TKAs with a mean follow-up of 57 months (standard deviation (SD) 20 months). The only significant difference in postoperative PROMs was a worse AKSS pain score in the revision group (36 vs 44, p = 0.002); however, these patients still produced an improvement in the pain score. There was no significant difference in improvement of AKSS or SF-12 between the two groups. LOS (9.3 days vs 4.6 days) and operation time (1 hour 56 minutes vs 1 hour 7 minutes) were significantly higher in the revision group (p < 0.001). Patients undergoing revision were significantly more likely to require intraoperative lateral release and postoperative urinary catheterisation (p < 0.001). Conclusion This matched-cohort study provides results of revision TKA using modern techniques and implants and outlines what results patients can expect to achieve using primary TKA as a control. This should be useful to clinicians counselling patients for revision TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the influence of psychological distress on the outcomes of total knee arthroplasty has been described extensively, its effect on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is poorly defined. Furthermore, most studies in arthroplasty literature had short follow-ups of ≤1 year. We investigated the influence of psychological distress on long-term patient-reported outcomes and analyzed the change in mental health after UKA in a cohort with minimum 10 years of follow-up. METHODS Prospectively collected data of 269 patients undergoing UKA in 2004-2007 were reviewed. Patients were stratified into those with psychological distress (36-item Short-Form health survey [SF-36] Mental Component Summary [MCS] <50, n = 111) and those without (SF-36 MCS ≥50, n = 158). Clinical outcomes were obtained preoperatively, at 2 years, and 10 years. Multiple regression was used to control for age, gender, body mass index, Charlson Comorbidity Index, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and baseline scores. The rate of expectation fulfillment and satisfaction was compared. RESULTS Psychologically distressed patients had poorer Knee Society Knee Score, Function Score, Oxford Knee Score, and SF-36 Physical Component Summary preoperatively, at 2 years, and 10 years. However, an equal proportion in each group attained the minimal clinically important difference for each score. Distressed patients had a comparable rate of satisfaction (91% vs 95%, P = .136) but lower fulfillment of expectations (89% vs 95%, P = .048). The percentage of distressed patients declined from 41% to 35% at follow-up. The mean SF-36 MCS improved by 6.9 points. CONCLUSION Although psychologically distressed patients had relatively greater pain and poorer function preoperatively and up to 10 years after UKA, a similar proportion of them experienced a clinically meaningful improvement in patient-reported outcomes.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the association of preoperative psychosocial and demographic factors with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes and satisfaction in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee at 24 months after surgery. Methods A prospective cohort study of patients undergoing TKA was conducted. Outcome measures included: Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short Form 36 (SF‐36) scores at baseline and 24 months after surgery, and patient satisfaction with TKA at 24 months. Linear regression models were performed to evaluate the association of preoperative psychosocial determinants (ie, Medical Outcome Study Social Support Scale; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale; Brief COPE inventory, The Life Orientation Test‐Revised; Multidimensional Health Locus of Control; and Arthritis Self‐Efficacy Scale) on outcomes. Results We included 178 patients. Increasing WOMAC pain scores at 24 months were associated with increasing age and body mass index (BMI); low tangible social support and low optimism were associated with higher levels of pain (R2 = 0.15). A decrease in WOMAC function scores was also associated with older age and higher BMI; low tangible support, increased stress, and low optimism were also associated with worse function (R2 = 0.22). When evaluating quality of life, lower SF‐36 physical functioning scores at 24 months were associated with age, high BMI, and comorbidity (R2 = 0.34). Lower SF‐36 mental functioning scores were associated with depression and low optimism (R2 = 0.38). Having a dysfunctional style of coping was associated with lower satisfaction with surgery after 24 months (adjusted R2 = 0.12). Conclusion Psychosocial factors, such as tangible support, depression, dysfunctional coping, and optimism, were associated with pain, function, and satisfaction 2 years after TKA. Perioperative programs identifying and addressing psychosocial problems may result in improvements in pain and function after TKA.

Abstract
Given that pain relief is often the primary goal of orthopaedic surgery, an accurate assessment of pain is paramount. The objectives of this cross-sectional analytical study were to (1) compare how the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pain interference (PI) computer adaptive test (CT) performs against the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS) measure in evaluating pain, and (2) to determine demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates of PI in an urban population undergoing a variety of knee surgeries. We hypothesized that there would be a strong correlation between PI and NPS, with minimal floor and ceiling effects; and that a worse PI score would be associated with a worse general health profile. The sample consisted of 412 patients undergoing knee surgery at an urban academic center. Patients were preoperatively administered measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Bivariate and multivariable statistical analyses were performed to identify significant independent predictors. The mean PI score was 60.3 ± 7.2 and had no floor or ceiling effects, whereas NPS demonstrated a greater percentage of patients scoring at the extremes of the measure. Worse PI scores were associated with older age, higher body mass index (BMI), greater comorbidity, lower income, smoking, female gender, Hispanic ethnicity, Black race, unemployment, opioid use, lower expectations, and greater American Society of Anesthesiologists score (p < 0.05). Compared with other procedures, total knee arthroplasty was associated with worse PI scores and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was associated with better PI scores. Furthermore, PI demonstrated significant associations with a wide range of HRQOL measures. After controlling for confounding variables, worse PI was independently associated with older age, lower income, higher BMI, and smoking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with psychological distress are likely to have poorer short-term functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty. However, the influence of psychological distress on the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is relatively understudied. Previous studies also had short follow-ups of 1 year or less. We examined the influence of psychological distress on patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction, and analyzed the change in mental health after THA at a minimum of 2 years. METHODS Prospectively collected data of 1384 patients undergoing primary THA in 2001-2015 were reviewed. Patients were assessed using the Oxford Hip Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and 36-item Short-Form health survey Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Score (MCS). Patients were stratified into those with psychological distress (MCS < 50, n = 720) and those without (MCS ≥ 50, n = 664). Multiple regression analysis was used to control for age, gender, body mass index, and baseline scores. The rate of satisfaction and expectation fulfillment was also analyzed. RESULTS Distressed patients had a poorer Physical Component Summary at 6 months. However, there was no difference in patient-reported outcomes at 2 years. A higher proportion of distressed patients attained the minimal clinically important difference for Oxford Hip Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, while 92.2% of distressed patients and 92.9% of nondistressed patients were satisfied at 2 years (P = .724). There was no difference in MCS after 6 months. The percentage of distressed patients also declined from 41.8% to 27.3%. CONCLUSION Patients with psychological distress achieved a comparable level of function, quality of life, and satisfaction 2 years after THA. Undergoing THA may also lead to mental health improvement in a subgroup of distressed patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The influence of sex on post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes has been variable in the literature. Though sex is often reported as an averaged effect, we undertook this study to investigate whether sex modified the influence of presurgery characteristics on post-TKA knee pain. METHODS This was a prospective study with data derived from 477 TKA osteoarthritis patients (279 women, 198 men). Questionnaires were completed presurgery and at 3 months postsurgery. The association between 3-month post-TKA knee pain and presurgery covariates (body mass index, comorbidity count, symptomatic joint count, low back pain, knee pain, and depressive symptoms) was assessed by linear regression. Sex-specific effects were evaluated using interactions. RESULTS Women had significantly worse presurgery knee pain, joint count, and depressive symptoms, and worse postsurgery knee pain, than men. With simple covariate adjustment, no sex effect on pain was found. However, sex was found to moderate the effects of comorbidities (worse for women [P = 0.013]), presence of low back pain (worse for men [P = 0.003]), and depressive symptoms (worse for men [P < 0.001]) on postsurgery pain. Worse presurgery pain was associated with worse postsurgery pain similarly for women and men. CONCLUSION The influence of some patient factors on early post-TKA pain cannot be assumed to be the same for women and men; average effects may mask underlying associations. Results suggest a need to consider sex differences in understanding TKA outcomes, which may have important implications for prognostic tool development in TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When conservative treatments do not work, TKA may be the best option for patients with knee osteoarthritis, although a relatively large proportion of individuals do not have clinically important improvement after TKA. Evidence also suggests that women are less likely to benefit from TKA than men, but the reasons are unclear. Widespread pain disproportionately affects women and has been associated with worse outcomes after joint arthroplasty, yet it is unknown if the effect of widespread pain on TKA outcomes differs by patient gender. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Does the association between widespread pain and no clinically important improvement in osteoarthritis-related pain and disability 2 years after TKA differ between men and women? (2) Does the use of pain medications 2 years after TKA differ between those with widespread pain and those without widespread pain before surgery? METHODS Osteoarthritis Initiative (https://nda.nih.gov/oai/) study participants were followed annually from March 2005 until October 2015. Participants who underwent TKA up to the 7-year follow-up visit with pain/disability assessment at the protocol-planned visit before TKA and at the second planned annual visit after surgery were included in the analysis. Among 4796 study participants, 391 had a confirmed TKA, including 315 with pain/disability assessment at the protocol-planned visit before TKA. Overall, 95% of participants (298) had the required follow-up assessment; 5% (17) did not have follow-up data. Widespread pain was defined based on the modified American College of Rheumatology criteria. Symptoms were assessed using the WOMAC pain (range 0 to 20; higher score, more pain) and disability (range 0 to 68; higher score, more disability) scores, and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for pain (range 0 to 100; higher score, less pain). Improvements in pain and disability were classified based on improvement from established clinically important differences (decrease in WOMAC pain ≥ 1.5; decrease in WOMAC disability ≥ 6.0; increase in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for pain ≥ 9). At baseline, more women presented with widespread pain than men (45% [84 of 184] versus 32% [36 of 114]). Probability and the relative risk (RR) of no clinically important improvement were estimated using a logistic regression analysis in which participants with widespread pain and those without were compared. The analyses were done for men and women separately, then adjusted for depression and baseline outcome scores. RESULTS Among women, preoperative widespread pain was associated with an increased risk of no clinically important improvement 2 years after TKA, based on WOMAC pain scores (13.5% versus 4.6%; RR 2.93 [95% CI 1.18 to 7.30]; p = 0.02) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for pain (16.5% versus 4.9%; RR 3.39 [95% CI 1.34 to 8.59]; p = 0.02). Given the lower and upper limits of the confidence intervals, our data are compatible with a broad range of disparate associations between widespread pain and lack of clinically important improvement in WOMAC pain scores (RR 0.77 [95% CI 0.22 to 2.70]; p = 0.68) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for pain (RR 1.37 [95% CI 0.47 to 4.00]; p = 0.57) among men, as well as clinically important improvement in WOMAC disability scores among men (RR 0.72 [95% CI 0.20 to 2.55]; p = 0.61) and women (RR 1.98 [95% CI 0.92 to 4.26]; p = 0.08). Participants presenting with widespread pain before TKA were more likely than those without widespread pain to use medication for symptoms of knee osteoarthritis most days for at least 1 month 2 years after TKA (51% [61 of 120] versus 32% [57 of 178]; mean difference, 18.8 [95% CI 7.3 to 30.1]; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Widespread pain before TKA was associated with an increased risk of no clinically important improvement in knee pain 2 years postoperatively among women. Because of the small number of men with widespread pain in the sample, the results for men were inconclusive. In clinical practice, screening TKA candidates for widespread pain may be useful, and expectations of surgical outcomes may need to be tempered if patients have a concurrent diagnosis of widespread pain. Future studies should include more men with widespread pain and investigate if treatment of widespread pain before or concurrent with TKA surgery may improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Aims While patients with psychological distress have poorer short-term outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), their longer-term function is unknown. We aimed to 1) assess the influence of preoperative mental health status on long-term functional outcomes, quality of life, and patient satisfaction; and 2) analyze the change in mental health after TKA, in a cohort of patients with no history of mental health disorder, with a minimum of ten years’ follow-up. Methods Prospectively collected data of 122 patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA in 2006 were reviewed. Patients were assessed pre- and postoperatively at two and ten years using the Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS) and Function Score (KSFS); Oxford Knee Score (OKS); and the Mental (MCS) and Physical Component Summary (PCS) which were derived from the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36). Patients were stratified into those with psychological distress (MCS < 50, n = 51) and those without (MCS ≥ 50, n = 71). Multiple regression was used to control for age, sex, BMI, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and baseline scores. The rate of expectation fulfilment and satisfaction was compared between patients with low and high MCS. Results There was no difference in the mean KSKS, KSFS, OKS, and SF-36 PCS at two years or ten years after TKA. Equal proportions of patients in each group attained the minimal clinically important difference for each score. Psychologically distressed patients had a comparable rate of satisfaction (91.8% (47/51) vs 97.1% (69/71); p = 0.193) and fulfilment of expectations (89.8% vs 97.1%; p = 0.094). The proportion of distressed patients declined from 41.8% preoperatively to 29.8% at final follow-up (p = 0.021), and their mean SF-36 MCS improved by 10.4 points (p < 0.001). Conclusion Patients with poor mental health undergoing TKA may experience long-term improvements in function and quality of life that are comparable to those experienced by their non-distressed counterparts. These patients also achieved a similar rate of satisfaction and expectation fulfilment. Undergoing TKA was associated with improvements in mental health in distressed patients, although this effect may be due to residual confounding.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain are common and often coexist. There are limited studies on the impact of coexisting musculoskeletal disorders on gait parameters and its association with self-assessed functional outcome. This study compared gait parameters, self-assessed functional outcome measurements, and quality-of-life scales between patients with knee osteoarthritis against those with coexisting knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain using gait analysis, Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index, and Short Form-36. Three hundred sixty-seven patients underwent gait analysis after the question-based functional outcome measurement. Pain, function, and quality of life were worse in the coexisting knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain group (n = 197) compared with the knee osteoarthritis only group (n = 170, P = 0.017, P = 0.004, P < 0.001, P = 0.004, respectively). The coexisting knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain group had significantly lower gait velocity and cadence than the knee osteoarthritis group (P = 0.028 and P = 0.003). The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index Pain subscore was associated with gait velocity (P < 0.001) in the knee osteoarthritis group, whereas Short Form-36 physical composite was associated with gait velocity (P < 0.001) in the coexisting knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain group. Comorbid chronic low back pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis was associated with worse pain, function, quality of life, gait velocity, and cadence. Compared with the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index, Short Form-36 may be a more suitable tool to track mobility outcome measure, such as gait velocity, in the management of the coexisting knee osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain.
