Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

4.7K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Knee Joint

3.0K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Summary

Patient perspectives define total joint replacement (TJR) failure by persistent pain, inability to resume activities, and poor quality of life. These factors are crucial for evaluating TJR success in clinical trials.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Total joint replacement (TJR) is a common procedure for end-stage arthritis.
  • Understanding patient perspectives on TJR failure is crucial for improving outcomes and clinical trial design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define patient-defined failure of total joint replacement (TJR) using a qualitative approach.
  • To identify key patient-reported domains that constitute TJR failure.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative study using the nominal group technique (NGT).
  • 42 participants who underwent elective total hip replacement (THR) and/or total knee replacement (TKR) were included.
  • Participants ranked factors contributing to TJR failure.

Main Results:

  • The highest-ranked failure criteria included refractory joint pain, postoperative adverse events, and inability to resume normal activities.
  • Other significant factors were lack of quality of life improvement and early revision surgery.
  • Lower-ranked factors included death and expectation-outcome mismatch.

Conclusions:

  • Patient-defined TJR failure encompasses lack of pain relief, functional restoration, and quality of life improvement, alongside surgical complications.
  • Functional failure is as important, if not more so, than surgical failure from the patient's viewpoint.
  • These patient-centric domains should be incorporated into core outcome sets for TJR clinical trials.
