ObjectivesTo explore whether a conceptual model of patient satisfaction previously developed 1–2 years post-total knee replacement (TKR) is still relevant 3–4 years post-TKR. Specifically, (i) what is the stability in satisfaction levels 3–4 years post-TKR? and (ii) does the existing conceptual model of patient satisfaction after TKR apply at this later follow-up?DesignA constructivist grounded theory qualitative follow-up study. The present study was theoretically governed by the findings of the initial qualitative inquiry. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were used to test the assumptions of the model developed from the findings of the previous study.SettingAn urban Australian public hospitalParticipantsFrom 40 people who participated in the original study, 11 participants were purposively sampled based on their level of satisfaction and factors driving satisfaction as reported in their first interview. There were six women and five men, the average time since TKR was 3 years and 5 months, and the average age at time of interview was 77 years.ResultsSatisfaction levels were mostly stable with the exception of three participants; two transitioned in a positive direction; one in a negative direction. The meaning of satisfaction and the factors that influenced satisfaction were consistent with the original findings. However, beliefs relating to the influence of ageing on persistent knee symptoms and functional limitations were more dominant in the present study.ConclusionsThe findings provide support for patient satisfaction being a multifactorial construct that is potentially modifiable over time. Clinicians may apply the conceptual model we have described to optimise satisfaction in patients up to 3–4 years post-TKR.

Abstract Background There is a longstanding culture of repeat x-rays after total knee replacement (TKR) as part of follow up, often combined with a clinic review. This is to check that the prosthesis is in a satisfactory position. There are inherently a number of issues with this historic approach including exposure of patients to further radiation who may be asymptomatic, time delays in busy clinics or x-ray departments and costs. Objectives The aim of this audit was to assess whether follow up plain films after TKR are methodically undertaken and of benefit to confirm satisfactory appearance if immediate post -operative x-rays were unremarkable. The findings of a six month follow up x-ray was specifically evaluated. The secondary aim was to establish the timing of further follow up x-rays within the department. Method 200 patients were included within the analysis, they all received a TKR at a major trauma centre, over a one-year period between December 2017 and December 2018. Results It was found that 100% of those patients having a post-operative film had a satisfactory appearance. 78% of patients had at least one further follow op x-ray of which 99.4% were satisfactory. Up to five follow up x-rays were taken with 53.5% of patients having a follow up x-ray at 6 months. Conclusions From the above results there is minimal, if any, evidence within the data set to support routine, additional follow up imaging if initial post-operative films are satisfactory, and the patient is asymptomatic.
