Summary: The study found that most postoperative patients had regular local orthopedic follow-up, but about 10% of patients indicated the lack of such follow-up at the local level, and some patients reported sporadic follow-up. Approximately half of patients reported various levels of pain, only about a quarter of patients were able to walk independently within their residential district, and nearly half of patients reported being able to walk unassisted.

Summary: This systematic literature review investigates the influence of body mass index (BMI) on functional recovery after total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR). The findings show that obesity has a certain impact on functional recovery in the short-term, medium-term, and long-term after THR or TKR.

Summary: There was no increase in postoperative complications after a surgical procedure for a hip fracture in elderly patients with schizophrenia. The 1-year mortality after a surgical procedure for hip fracture is similar in both patients with schizophrenia and those without schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia and hip fracture who were surgically managed had poorer 1-year functional outcomes compared with patients without schizophrenia matched for age, sex, and MBI at admission.

Summary: Conversion of hip fusion to total hip arthroplasty using consistent surgical technique and uncemented implants can lead to significant functional improvement, low complication rates, long-term implant survival, and high patient satisfaction.

Summary: This article provides a systematic review on models for predicting functional status in community dwelling older persons. The study found that currently there are no models recommended for implementation, but frailty models may hold the most promise.

Summary: This study analyzed the clinical factors associated with medical burden and functional status of pyogenic spinal infection (PSI). The results showed that recurrence and leg weakness were the most important clinical factors for medical burden and functional status in PSI.

Summary: This study demonstrates functional equivalence between dual mobility total hip arthroplasty (DM THA) and standard THA in hip fracture patients. Additionally, DM THA shows a trend towards less dislocation compared to standard THA. Cost savings from reduced instability may outweigh initial prosthesis costs, indicating the need for a suitably powered randomized controlled trial using instability as the primary outcome measure.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) readmission after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The results showed that living alone, low education, low income, and low liquid assets were associated with a small increased risk of readmission due to CVD within 90 days after THA.

Summary: After a 5-year follow-up study, it was found that older adults should avoid eating alone or increase dietary variety to prevent functional disability. Providing an environment for communal eating or food provision services in the community can help achieve this goal.

Summary: Patients with medically unexplained or functional symptoms, often avoided by health professionals, may hold the key to a more successful, meaningful, and just system of medical practice. They prompt us to consider the human and participatory aspect of illness, which is often neglected in medical training and practice. There is room for improvement in addressing this aspect in healthcare.
