The purpose is to determine the non-inferiority of a smartphone-based exercise educational care management system after primary knee arthroplasty compared with a traditional in-person physiotherapy rehabilitation model. A multicentre prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted evaluating the use of a smartphone-based care management system for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and partial knee arthroplasty (PKA). Patients in the control group (n = 244) received the respective institution’s standard of care with formal physiotherapy. The treatment group (n = 208) were provided a smartwatch and smartphone application. Early outcomes assessed included 90-day knee range of movement, EuroQoL five-dimension five-level score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS JR) score, 30-day single leg stance (SLS) time, Time up and Go (TUG) time, and need for manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA).Aims
Methods
This cohort study investigated the influence
of psychological factors, including perception of illness, anxiety
and depression on recovery and functional outcome after total knee
replacement surgery. . A total of 100 patients (55 male; 45 female) with a mean age
of 71 (42 to 92) who underwent a primary total knee replacement
for osteoarthritis were recruited into this study. In all 97 participants
completed the six week and 87 the one year follow-up questionnaires. . Pre-operatively patients completed the revised Illness Perception
Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Recovery
Locus of Control Scale. Function was assessed pre-operatively, at
six weeks and one year using Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and the goniometer-measured
range of movement (ROM). . The results showed that pre-operative function had the biggest
impact on post-operative outcome for ROM and OKS. In addition questionnaire
variables and depression had an impact on the OKS at six weeks.
Depression and anxiety were also associated with a higher (worse)
knee score at one year but did not influence the ROM at either six weeks
or one year. Recovery from

Aims. The pre-operative level of haemoglobin is the strongest predictor
of the peri-operative requirement for blood transfusion after total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). There are, however, no studies reporting
a value that could be considered to be appropriate pre-operatively. . This study aimed to identify threshold pre-operative levels of
haemoglobin that would predict the requirement for blood transfusion
in patients who undergo
