Journal ArticleDOI
The visual analog scale allows effective measurement of preoperative anxiety and detection of patients' anesthetic concerns.
TL;DR: Different methods for measuring preoperative anxiety are compared, certain patient characteristics that predispose to high anxiety are identified, and the quantity and quality of anxiety that patients experience preoperatively are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The position and orientation of total knee replacement components: A COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHS, TRANSVERSE 2D-CT SLICES AND 3D-CT RECONSTRUCTION
Michael T. Hirschmann,Praveen Konala,Felix Amsler,Farhad Iranpour,Niklaus F. Friederich,Justin Cobb +5 more
TL;DR: 3D-reconstructed images are sufficiently reliable to enable reporting of the position and orientation of the components in a poorly functioning TKR with concerns over component positioning, and are recommend 3D-CT as the investigation of choice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional knee phenotypes: a novel classification for phenotyping the coronal lower limb alignment based on the native alignment in young non-osteoarthritic patients
Michael T. Hirschmann,Lukas B. Moser,Felix Amsler,Henrik Behrend,Vincent Leclerq,Silvan Hess +5 more
TL;DR: The present study introduces functional knee phenotypes, which are a combination of all previously introduced phenotypes and enable a simple, but detailed assessment of a patient’s individual anatomy and could be a helpful tool to individualize the approach to TKA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The unhappy total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patient: higher WOMAC and lower KSS in depressed patients prior and after TKA.
TL;DR: Depression, anxiety, a tendency to somatize and psychological distress were identified as significant predictors for poorer clinical outcomes before and/or after TKA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotyping the knee in young non-osteoarthritic knees shows a wide distribution of femoral and tibial coronal alignment
Michael T. Hirschmann,Lukas B. Moser,Felix Amsler,Henrik Behrend,Vincent Leclercq,Silvan Hess,Silvan Hess +6 more
TL;DR: 3D-reconstructed CT scans confirmed the great variability of the joint line orientation in non-osteoarthritic knees and introduced femoral and tibial phenotypes, which clearly shows the need for a more individualized approach in TKA.
