Total Knee Arthroplasty
Conditions
Keywords
Satisfaction, Expectations, Personal feedback
Brief summary
Despite positive results following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), some patients are dissatisfied after recovery. Unfulfilled expectations is a key predictor of dissatisfaction. The aim of this study is to investigate if more patients fulfil or exceed their preoperative expectations one year after TKA when personal feedback on their PROs is given.
Interventions
OTHERPersonal report
In the intervention group, in addition to receiving the usual care, patients will receive personal reports on multiple time points. These reports include feedback on their PROs including reference scores of patients who previously underwent total knee replacement surgery.
