What this trial studies
This study collects and compares preoperative and postoperative data from patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) for osteoarthritis. It utilizes patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as the HOOS Jr., Oxford score, and Harris Hip Score to assess patient satisfaction and function. Additionally, demographic and clinical data will be recorded, along with optional gait analysis and physical capacity testing. The aim is to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of joint replacement on patient comfort and function, while creating a data repository for future research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the understanding of outcomes related to total joint arthroplasty, leading to enhanced patient care and satisfaction.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing similar registry approaches have shown success in improving patient outcomes and satisfaction in orthopedic surgeries.
