Comparative analysis of patient-reported outcomes in joint arthroplasty surgeries.

Background: This study aims to report and analyze disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) effect size (ES) variations, in patients undergoing major arthroplasty surgery.

Material And Methods: All institution-based data of primary knee, hip, or shoulder arthroplasty patients at Turku University hospital (Finland) between January 2020 -December 2022 were collected, and treatment outcome assessed as a PROM difference between baseline and one-year follow-up. PROM ES were calculated for each patient and patient group separately, and patients with ES >0.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and concomitant procedures in Finland between 2004 and 2018 based on national registers.

Background And Purpose: We aimed to assess the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and concomitant procedures in Finland.

Patients And Methods: We identified all the patients who underwent ACLR between 2004 and 2018 in Finland using national registry data. Patients with an ICD-10 diagnosis code S83.

Return to work following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Background And Purpose: Amongst people of working age, the return to work (RTW) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an important marker of success of surgery. We determined when patients are able to return to work after ACL reconstruction and identified factors that are associated with the timing of RTW.

Patients And Methods: We used logistic regression analyses to examine patient-related factors that may be associated with the length of RTW (above vs.
