Summary: This study aimed to report the meaningful values of EQ-5D-3L questionnaire and EQ-VAS in patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty. The study found that EQ-5D-3L questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency and determined the minimum clinically important difference for evaluating clinically relevant changes. The findings of this study are of significance for assessing postoperative changes in patients' quality of life.

Summary: This study compares measurement properties of EQ-5D-5L, PROMIS-29+2, and PROMIS-GH-10, and provides comparative evidence for the choice of instruments in population health surveys and cost-utility analyses. Results show that most PROMIS items have enhanced distributional characteristics and good convergent validity with EQ-5D-5L. EQ-5D-5L utilities are higher than PROPr utilities.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of morbid obesity on patients undergoing UKA and TKA, and found that morbidly obese UKA patients had fewer medical complications and readmissions, but higher rates of mechanical loosening. Compared to TKA patients, UKA patients had shorter lengths of stay and lower costs. Morbidly obese UKA patients had similar complication rates and lower medical utilizations compared to TKA patients with a BMI <40.

Summary: This study aims to assess the measurement relationship between EQ-5D-5L, PROMIS-29, and PROPr. The findings suggest a high correlation between the measurement dimensions of these instruments, but PROMIS-29 assesses additional health concepts not covered by EQ-5D. Both instruments are able to detect differences between those with and without a condition, but PROPr can more precisely detect varying levels of self-reported health.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to define the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) cut-off values for EQ-5D-5L and Oxford hip (OHS) and knee (OKS) scores 6 and 12 months after total hip or knee replacement. The study compared PASS cut-off values for EQ-5D-5L scored using different value sets and found variations in cut-off values across methods, timing of assessment, and value sets. This suggests caution is needed when using EQ-5D-5L PASS cut-off values developed in different countries.

Summary: Patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) experience improved self-perceived health status post-surgery. However, the different associations of gender with EQ-5D-5L dimensions suggest that the index score may not accurately reflect gender differences.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of PROMIS Global-10 and legacy shoulder-specific patient-reported outcome measures in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty for shoulder arthritis. The findings suggest that PROMIS Global-10 has limited correlation with legacy PROMs and is less responsive at 1-year follow-up in patients following TSA.

Summary: This study suggests that preoperative PROMIS scores may not be predictive of 90-day readmissions following primary TKA. Non-white patients and patients with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease (CVD) are 3.53 and 1.66 times more likely to be readmitted after TKA, indicating existing racial disparities and medical comorbidities as factors contributing to readmissions.

Summary: A fall-classification framework for patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) was proposed and the incidence and circumstances of falls were described. The study found that the incidence of falls decreased after surgery and most falls were caused by disruptions in the base of support and precipitated by extrinsic factors.

Summary: The literature review found a lack of evidence on the relationship between PROMIS-29 and EQ-5D, and the impact of choosing either instrument on the evidence used in cost-effectiveness analysis is currently unclear. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between the two instruments.

Summary: This study investigated changes in functional outcomes of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) between short and medium-term follow-up, and reported rates of revision surgery and total hip arthroplasty (THA) at medium-term follow-up. The study found that patients' functional outcomes improved between short and medium-term follow-up.

Summary: This systematic review evaluated the effects of sarcopenia on postoperative functional recovery and mortality in orthopaedic surgery, and assessed the methods used to diagnose and define sarcopenia. The results showed that sarcopenia has a negative impact on surgical outcomes and further research is needed to improve diagnosis and interventions for sarcopenic patients.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) compared with manual total hip arthroplasty (mTHA) and examine the influence of annual volume on the relative cost-effectiveness of rTHA. The results showed that despite the higher cost of rTHA, it was a cost-effective intervention compared to mTHA due to the greater health-related quality of health gain according to the EQ-5D outcome measure.

Summary: Although facemasks are commonly used in healthcare, their impact on verbal communication remains unclear. This study conducted a systematic search and included 15 studies with 350 participants. The results showed that 93% of the studies reported a negative effect of facemasks on speech understanding in adults with normal hearing and hearing impairment.

Summary: This study found that using a short stem in cemented total hip arthroplasty was equivalent to using a standard stem in terms of hip-specific function, health-related quality of life, and patient satisfaction at a mean of 2 years post operation. However, the short stem was associated with a higher rate of varus malalignment, which may affect the implant's survival.

Summary: Sequential change in lower limb muscle strength following robotic-assisted UKA was investigated. Both quadriceps and hamstrings muscle strength decreased at 6 weeks post-operatively and then recovered at 12 weeks. Other measures such as Timed-up-and-go test, 10 m walk test, range of knee flexion, and PROMs also showed improvement over time.

Summary: The primary aim of this study is to assess the survival of the uncemented hydroxyapatite coated Trident II acetabular component as part of a hybrid total hip arthroplasty. The secondary aims include assessing complications, joint-specific function, health-related quality of life, and radiological signs of loosening. This prospective cohort study will recruit 125 patients and assess functional and radiological outcomes up to ten years following the surgery.

Summary: This study evaluates the association between notchplasty during ACL reconstruction and the risk of secondary injury and revision. The results show that patients who underwent notchplasty had a reduced risk of revision surgery and the activity level after ACL reconstruction was associated with the need for subsequent revision.

Summary: The number of hip arthroscopies performed for the management of FAI has significantly increased over the past 16 years. This is due to the better understanding of FAI pathoanatomy and the strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of arthroscopy. New evidence also suggests better outcomes with labral tear repair and the possibility of reconstructive options. However, there are still controversies surrounding factors such as capsule closure and computer-guided resection.
