Patient Reported Outcomes following Elective Revision Total Knee Replacement

Description

This presentation features Shiraz Sabah, an orthopedic registrar and PhD candidate from Oxford, who discusses Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) following elective revision knee replacement surgery. He expresses gratitude for the opportunity to present at the BASK conference and acknowledges his co-authors' contributions. Shiraz highlights the importance of evaluating surgical outcomes from the patients' perspectives and notes the UK's decade-long implementation of PROMs for both hip and knee replacements.



He shares research findings from over 10,000 patients, detailing improvements in joint function and quality of life post-surgery and presenting data showing significant rates of complications and dissatisfaction. Key points include a 7.5-point minimal important change in the Oxford Knee Score, with many patients experiencing significant quality of life enhancements but also reporting high incidences of adverse events, particularly wound healing issues. The discussion delves into patient demographics, preoperative conditions, and factors influencing recovery, ultimately emphasizing the need for informed discussions about the risks and benefits of elective revision knee replacement procedures.
