Challenges in postdischarge function and recovery: the case of fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty

Abstract: This narrative review updates the recent advances in our understanding of the multifactorial pathogenesis for reduced postdischarge physical and cognitive function after fast-track surgery, using total hip and knee arthroplasty as surgical models. Relevant factors discussed include the surgical stress responses and potential methods for controlling postsurgical inflammation, pain, and cognitive dysfunction. The continuation of moderate to severe pain in up to 30% of patients for 2-4 weeks calls for better unde… Show more

“…The results are stronger than in previous predictive models for post‐TKA pain with R 2 < 0.10 and AUC < 0.65, but the complexity of acute post‐TKA pain remains evident, emphasizing the need to also consider the surgical trauma and individual post‐operative stress response as well as other pre‐operative predictive factors for post‐operative pain. Nevertheless, the suggested model should be considered for identification of patients in risk of high post‐operative pain due to their nociceptive and psychological profile aiming to intervene pre‐ and post‐operatively against underlying pathophysiological mechanisms . Furthermore, the results emphasizes the need of a varied and multidisciplinary approach including psychological as well as pharmacological aspects …”

“…A recent qualitative study finds that knowledge increases the patients' sense of control and that patient education has a relational/psychosocial dimension which creates a trustful relationship with the staff and the hospital (41). Exploring patient expectations and educating patients to make realistic goals for functional activity have been suggested to improve satisfaction after TKA (42,43) whereas inconsistent and poor communication among healthcare providers can influence patient trust negatively (44,45). In our study, the unified fast-track programme with trained nurses and physiotherapists who strengthened the participants coping resources seems to have made them believe they were capable of dealing with the challenges at home.…”

“…71 The reason seems unclear and more detailed studies of strategies for enhanced rehabilitation are needed. 72 Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence of the effect of post-operative physiotherapy in THA patients as a group, so further studies are needed to identify patients with individual needs for training and rehabilitation.…”
