A Prospective Total Joint Surgery Registry to Monitor Short- and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting a prospective longitudinal registry study to collect and compare information before and after total joint arthroplasty TJA surgery in patients with osteoarthritis. The study aims to assess outcomes using common patient-reported outcome measures PROMs such as the HOOS Jr., Oxford score, Knee Society Score, Harris Hip Score, and other assessments related to patient satisfaction and function. Data collected will include demographic and clinical details about joint pain history, past treatments, medical conditions, and the surgical procedures performed. The study involves patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty with the principal investigator. All treatments follow standard care practices using FDA-approved prosthetic implants. Optional gait analysis and standardized physical capacity testing may also be included. This registry will serve as a data repository for current and potential future research. Participants will be assessed before surgery and at multiple follow-up points 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years postoperatively. Evaluations include various joint-specific scores, pain satisfaction, global health assessments, and joint awareness surveys. The study monitors both short- and long-term patient comfort and function after joint replacement surgery, with no experimental treatments involved.
