Strategies to Manage Poorer Outcomes After Hip or Knee Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review of Current Understanding, Unanswered Questions, and Future Directions. Musculoskeletal Care 2024; 22:e1921. [PMID: 39075675 DOI: 10.1002/msc.1921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Although hip or knee arthroplasty is generally a successful intervention, it is documented that 15%-30% of patients undergoing arthroplasty report suboptimal outcomes. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the key findings concerning the management of poorer outcomes after hip or knee arthroplasty. METHOD A comprehensive search of articles was conducted up to November 2023 across three electronic databases. Only studies written in English were included, with no limitations applied regarding study design and time. RESULT Efficiently addressing poorer outcomes after arthroplasty necessitates a thorough exploration of appropriate methods for assessing recovery following hip or knee arthroplasty, ensuring accurate identification of patients at risk or experiencing poorer recovery. When selecting appropriate outcome measure tools, various factors should be taken into consideration, including understanding patients' priorities throughout the recovery process, assessing psychometric properties of outcome measure tools at different time points after arthroplasty, understanding how to combine/reconcile provider-assessed and patient-reported outcome measures, and determining the appropriate methods to interpret outcome measure scores. However, further research in these areas is warranted. In addition, the identification of key modifiable factors affecting outcomes and the development of interventions to manage these factors are needed. CONCLUSION There is growing attention paid to delivering interventions for patients at risk or not optimally recovering following hip or knee arthroplasty. To achieve this, it is essential to identify the most appropriate outcome measure tools, factors associated with poorer recovery and management of these factors.

New-onset Fibromyalgia After Total Knee Replacement in Patients With Osteoarthritis: A Propensity-score-matched Cohort Study in the United States. In Vivo 2024; 38:1957-1964. [PMID: 38936902 PMCID: PMC11215629 DOI: 10.21873/invivo.13652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The risk of new-onset fibromyalgia after total knee replacement (TKR) in osteoarthritis patients is not well-established. This study aimed to assess the risk of developing fibromyalgia post-TKR, considering potential variations across age and sex. PATIENTS AND METHODS Utilizing a multicenter retrospective cohort design and data from the TriNetX research network, electronic health records of osteoarthritis patients who underwent TKR and the same number of matched controls were analyzed. Propensity-score matching was performed by matching critical confounders. Hazard ratios were evaluated to assess fibromyalgia risk in the TKR cohort compared to non-TKR controls. RESULTS The hazard ratio of future fibromyalgia for the TKR cohort was 2.08 (95% confidence interval=1.74-2.49) for 1 year after the index date, 1.81 (95% confidence interval=1.62-2.02) for 3 years, and 1.69 (95% confidence interval=1.54-1.86) for 5 years compared with non-TKR controls. The significant association remained in sensitivity models and stratification analyses in different age and sex subgroups. CONCLUSION Clinicians should be vigilant about the potential for fibromyalgia development post-TKR and consider tailored interventions; our findings emphasize the need for further research to elucidate underlying mechanisms and identify modifiable risk factors.

Cost and outcomes of Hospital-based Usual cAre versus Tele-monitor self-directed Rehabilitation (HUATR) in patients with total knee arthroplasty: A randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2024; 32:601-611. [PMID: 38049030 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2023.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of telemonitored self-directed rehabilitation (TR) compared with hospital-based rehabilitation (HBR) for patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). DESIGN In this randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial, 114 patients with primary TKA who were able to walk independently preoperatively were randomized to receive HBR (n = 58) or TR (n = 56). HBR comprised at least five physical therapy sessions over 10 weeks. TR comprised a therapist-led onboarding session, followed by a 10-week unsupervised home-based exercise program, with asynchronous monitoring of rehabilitation outcomes using a telemonitoring system. The primary outcome was fast-paced gait speed at 12 weeks, with a non-inferiority margin of 0.10 m/s. For economic analysis, quality-adjusted-life-years (QALY) was the primary economic outcome (non-inferiority margin, 0.027 points). RESULTS In Bayesian analyses, TR had >95% posterior probability of being non-inferior to HBR in gait speed (week-12 adjusted TR-HBR difference, 0.02 m/s; 95%CrI, -0.05 to 0.10 m/s; week-24 difference, 0.01 m/s; 95%CrI, -0.07 to 0.10 m/s) and QALY (0.006 points; 95%CrI, -0.006 to 0.018 points). When evaluated from a societal perspective, TR was associated with lower mean intervention cost (adjusted TR-HBR difference, -S$227; 95%CrI, -112 to -330) after 24 weeks, with 82% probability of being cost-effective compared with HBR at a willingness to pay of S$0/unit of effect for the QALYs. CONCLUSIONS In patients with uncomplicated TKAs and relatively good preoperative physical function, home-based, self-directed TR was non-inferior to and more cost-effective than HBR over a 24-week follow-up period. TR should be considered for this patient subgroup.

THE LANCET. RHEUMATOLOGY 2024; 6:e237-e246. [PMID: 38423028 DOI: 10.1016/s2665-9913(23)00337-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis of the knee is a major cause of disability worldwide. Non-operative treatments can reduce the morbidity but adherence is poor. We hypothesised that adherence could be optimised if behavioural change was established in the preoperative period. Therefore, we aimed to assess feasibility, acceptability, and recruitment and retention rates of a preoperative package of non-operative care in patients awaiting knee replacement surgery. METHODS We did an open-label, randomised controlled, feasibility trial in two secondary care centres in the UK. Eligible participants were aged 15-85 years, on the waiting list for a knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, and met at least one of the thresholds for one of the four components of the preoperative package of non-operative care intervention (ie, weight loss, exercise therapy, use of insoles, and analgesia adjustment). Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) to either the intervention group or the standard of care (ie, control) group. All four aspects of the intervention were delivered weekly over 12 weeks. Participants in the intervention group were reviewed regularly to assess adherence. The primary outcome was acceptability and feasibility of delivering the intervention, as measured by recruitment rate, retention rate at follow-up review after planned surgery, health-related quality of life, joint-specific scores, and adherence (weight change and qualitative interviews). This study is registered with ISRCTN, ISRCTN96684272. FINDINGS Between Sept 3 2018, and Aug 30, 2019, we screened 233 patients, of whom 163 (73%) were excluded and 60 (27%) were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=40) or the control group (n=20). 34 (57%) of 60 participants were women, 26 (43%) were men, and the mean age was 66·8 years (SD 8·6). Uptake of the specific intervention components varied: 31 (78%) of 40 had exercise therapy, 28 (70%) weight loss, 22 (55%) analgesia adjustment, and insoles (18 [45%]). Overall median adherence was 94% (IQR 79·5-100). At the final review, the intervention group lost a mean of 11·2 kg (SD 5·6) compared with 1·3 kg (3·8) in the control group (estimated difference -9·8 kg [95% CI -13·4 to -6·3]). A clinically significant improvement in health-related quality o life (mean change 0·078 [SD 0·195]) were reported, and joint-specific scores showed greater improvement in the intervention group than in the control group. No adverse events attributable to the intervention occurred. INTERPRETATION Participants adhered well to the non-operative interventions and their health-related quality of life improved. Participant and health professional feedback were extremely positive. These findings support progression to a full-scale effectiveness trial. FUNDING Versus Arthritis.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of telerehabilitation for musculoskeletal disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Phys Rehabil Med 2024; 67:101791. [PMID: 38128150 DOI: 10.1016/j.rehab.2023.101791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Internet-based telerehabilitation could be a valuable option for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, with the advantage of providing rehabilitation from anywhere. However, there is no solid and updated evidence demonstrating its effectiveness on relevant clinical and cost outcomes. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of internet-based telerehabilitation during the recovery of musculoskeletal disorders. METHODS Medline, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane databases were systematically searched from inception to June 2023. Trials investigating the effects of internet-based telerehabilitation in any musculoskeletal disorder were selected. Nonoriginal articles and grey literature were excluded. Two independent reviewers conducted the study selection and data extraction. Random effect meta-analyses (standardized mean difference) and further sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS We selected 37 clinical trials (33 randomized and 4 non-randomized) and 5 health economics studies, which included a total of 4,288 participants. Telerehabilitation was more favourable than control treatments in improving all studied clinical outcomes, although the effectiveness varied depending on the type of musculoskeletal disorder. The standard mean differences (SMD) ranged from 0.24 to 0.91. For physical function, the primary outcome, superior effectiveness was found only in people with hip fractures (SMD, 0.87; 95 % CI, 0.34 to 1.41). The effects for joint replacement, osteoarthritis, and spine pain were similar to those of control treatments. However, the favourable outcomes for telerehabilitation became insignificant when compared specifically to face-to-face rehabilitation. Some results displayed publication bias and a lack of robustness, necessitating cautious interpretation. In terms of health economics studies, telerehabilitation was 89.55$ (95 % CI 4.6 to 174.5) cheaper per individual than conventional treatments. CONCLUSIONS Telerehabilitation should be considered in the recovery process of musculoskeletal disorders when optimal face-to-face rehabilitation is not feasible. Moreover, telerehabilitation reduces costs and time. PROSPERO NUMBER CRD42022322425.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the early effectiveness of local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) with compound betamethasone in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The clinical data of 102 patients with knee osteoarthritis who were treated by TKA and met the selection criteria between May 2022 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into control group and study group according to whether LIA preparation was added with compound betamethasone, with 51 cases in each group. There was no significant difference of baseline data, such as age, gender, body mass index, operative side, preoperative range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS), white blood cell (WBC), and hematocrit between the two groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative total blood loss and hidden blood loss were recorded, and WBC was recorded on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days after operation. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) score on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days after operation and morphine intake milligrames equivalent within 48 hours after operation. Passive ROM, maximum extension and flexion angles of knee joint were measured on the 3rd day after operation; the early postoperative complications were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in total blood loss and hidden blood loss between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative pain levels in both groups were relatively mild, and there was no significant difference in VAS scores in the first 3 days after operation and in morphine intake milligrams equivalent within 48 hours after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The WBC in the first 3 days after operation was significantly improved in both groups ( P<0.05). The WBC in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group on the 1st and 2nd days after operation ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups on the 3rd day after operation ( P>0.05). On the 3rd day after operation, the maximum extension angle of knee joint in the study group was smaller than that in the control group, while the maximum flexion angle and passive ROM of knee joint in the study group were larger than those in the control group, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). There were 6 cases of fever and 17 cases of deep venous thrombosis in the control group, and 1 case and 14 cases in the study group, respectively. There was no poor wound healing and periprosthetic joint infection in the two groups, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion The application of compound betamethasone in LIA during TKA is a safe and optimal strategy to promote the early postoperative rehabilitation of patients.

Long-term function, body composition and cardiometabolic health in midlife former athletes: a scoping review. BMJ Open Sport Exerc Med 2023; 9:e001605.

Abstract
While sports medicine has traditionally focused on recovering from injury and returning athletes to sport safely after injury, there is a growing interest in the long-term health of athletes. The purpose of this scoping review was to (1) summarise the literature (methodologies and findings) on physical function, body composition and cardiometabolic health in midlife (age 40-65 years) former competitive athletes compared with non-athlete controls, (2) identify areas for future study in long-term health in athletes and (3) determine outcomes that could be evaluated in a future systematic review(s). We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus for studies published between 2000 and 2022 evaluating former athletes and controls on physical function, body composition and/or cardiometabolic measures using MeSH terms. We identified 20 articles that met our criteria. Outcomes varied considerably across studies, most of which were cross-sectional and evaluated only males. Limited data suggest that former endurance athletes have leaner body compositions, higher aerobic capacity and better cardiometabolic indicators than controls; former athletes who maintain higher physical activity (ie, self-reported exercise) are healthier than those who do not; and former team sport athletes, who have higher injury prevalence, may have poorer functional performance than controls who were recreationally active in college. Studies rarely evaluated functional performance, did not control for prior injury or diet and seldom assessed current physical activity levels. Future research should include females and evaluate sex differences, control for prior sports-related injury(ies), quantify physical activity, use standardised outcome measures including performance-based functional assessments and incorporate longitudinal designs.

[PMID: 37105330 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.04.049] [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: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) are used in research, clinical practice, and by federal reimbursement models to assess outcomes for patients who have knee osteoarthritis (OA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We examined a large cohort of patients to determine if commonly used PROs reflect observed evaluation as measured by standardized functional tests (SFTs). METHODS We used data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a ten-year observational study of knee osteoarthritis patients. Two cohorts were examined: 1) participants who received TKA (n=281) and 2) participants who have native OA (n=4,687). The PROs included Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), and Intermittent and Constant Pain Score (ICOAP). The SFTs included 20 and 400 meter (M) walks and chair stand pace. Repeated measures correlation coefficients were used to determine the relationship between PROs and SFTs. RESULTS The PROs and SFTs were not strongly correlated in either cohort. The magnitude of the repeated measures correlation (rrm) between KOOS, WOMAC, SF-12, and ICOAP scores and SFT measurements in native knee OA patients ranged as follows: 400 M walk pace (0.08 to 0.20), chair stand pace (0.05 to 0.12), and 20 M pace (0.02 to 0.21), all with P<0.05. In the TKA cohort, values ranged as follows: 400 M walk pace (0.00 to 0.29), chair stand time (0.02 to 0.23), and 20 M pace (0.03 to 0.30). Due to the smaller cohort size, the majority, but not all had P values <0.05. CONCLUSION There is not a strong association between PROs and SFTs among patients who have knee OA or among patients who received a TKA. Therefore, PROs should not be used as a simple proxy for observed evaluation of physical function. Rather, PROs and SFTs are complementary and should be used in combination for a more nuanced and complete characterization of outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the variation in outcomes and number of visits before and after implementing a care guideline for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) rehabilitation. DESIGN: Nonrandomized intervention study. METHODS: We compared 2558 patients with TKA who received care that was not standardized (non-care guideline [NCG] group) to 9797 patients with TKA who received care according to the care guideline (CG). We fit 2 Bayesian hierarchical linear regression models using the Knee Outcome Survey - Activities of Daily Living (KOS-ADL) change score and number of physical therapy (PT) visits as the response variables, controlling for relevant predictor variables. We also compared the ratio of the standard deviations of the KOS-ADL change scores and the number of PT visits within and between clinics. RESULTS: The overall estimated mean improvement in KOS-ADL change score was 23.0 points (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.3, 25.7) in the NCG group and 28.7 points (95% CI: 27.5, 29.7) in the CG group; the mean difference was 5.6 (2.7-8.6). Mean KOS-ADL change scores were higher in the CG group than the NCG group in every clinic, although only 8 clinics improved significantly. The number of PT visits did not change meaningfully (NCG: mean, 10.7 [95% CI: 9.9, 11.5]; CG: mean, 10.5 [95% CI: 9.9, 10.9]). Variation in KOS-ADL change score decreased by 4% within clinics (CG-NCG ratio: 0.96 [95% CI: 0.93, 0.99]) and 63% between clinics (CG-NCG ratio: 0.37 [95% CI: 0.21, 0.62]). Variation in number of visits decreased by 7% within clinics (CG-NCG ratio: 0.93 [95% CI: 0.90, 0.96]) and 19% between clinics (CG-NCG ratio: 0.81 [95% CI: 0.39, 1.49]). CONCLUSION: Implementing a care guideline for TKA rehabilitation may improve outcomes and reduce unwarranted variation in practice within clinics and especially between clinics within a large health care system.
