Area of Science:

Orthopaedic Surgery
Medical Law
Patient Rights

Background:

Informed consent for total hip arthroplasty (THA) lacks standardization, creating medico-legal risks.
Current practices are inconsistent, leading to potential disputes in malpractice suits.
A uniform approach is needed to ensure clarity and legal protection.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a pre-designed, evidence-based informed consent form specifically for THA.
To address the need for uniformity and standard procedure in obtaining informed consent for THA.
To create a legally sound document beneficial for both patients and surgeons.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive literature review on medico-legal aspects of THA and informed consent.
Semi-structured interviews with orthopaedic surgeons and recent THA patients.
Development and legal expert review of an evidence-based informed consent form.

Main Results:

A legally sound, evidence-based informed consent form for total hip arthroplasty was successfully developed (Form A).
The form was utilized in clinical practice for one year.
The developed form provides a standardized approach to informed consent in THA.

Conclusions:

Implementing a legally sound, evidence-based informed consent form for THA benefits surgeons and patients.
The form upholds patient rights, promotes transparency, and aids in legal defense.
Standardized informed consent strengthens the position of surgeons in potential litigation.
