Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Musculoskeletal Conditions

Background:

  • Understanding patient expectations is crucial for musculoskeletal condition treatments.
  • Methods for assessing patient expectations in orthopaedic surgery are debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify validated instruments for assessing patient expectations in orthopaedic surgery.
  • Examine the development and validation of these expectation measures.
  • Determine the use of unvalidated instruments in published studies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of OVID Medline and EMBASE databases.
  • Inclusion of 66 studies assessing patient expectations in orthopaedic surgery.

Main Results:

The Transition to an Anterior-Based Muscle Sparing Approach Improves Early Postoperative Function but is Associated with a Learning Curve

Published on: September 7, 2022

  • Seven validated, patient-reported expectation instruments were identified; two were broadly applicable, five were procedure-specific.
  • Reliability and validity details were available for all but one validated instrument.
  • Forty unvalidated tools were found, many study-specific, limiting their utility.

Conclusions:

  • Validated instruments for orthopaedic surgery patient expectations exist.
  • Numerous tools lack reported testing and validation, complicating data interpretation.
  • The proliferation of untested instruments hinders consistent assessment of patient expectations.
