What this trial studies

This study tracks patients after knee or hip arthroplasty to evaluate surgical outcomes over a longitudinal period. It uses real-world data from patients treated in Germany to identify factors that influence satisfaction, pain, and function after primary or revision procedures. The analysis considers preoperative health, indication for surgery, age, and lifestyle as potential contributors to postoperative results. It also acknowledges common complications such as periprosthetic infection and reasons for revision and aims to relate these to quality of life and functional outcomes. Data are collected from the Universitätsklinikum Bonn and involve adults treated in inpatient settings.
