Name of journal: The New Zealand medical journalAbstract: AIMS: Our objective was to describe rehabilitation used before and after joint replacement in New Zealand and evaluate variation based on geography and ethnicity.CONCLUSIONS: Participants reported generally positive outcomes six months after primary total hip, knee and uni-compartmental knee replacement. However, differences in use of rehabilitation services before and after joint replacement were evident depending on joint replaced. Broadening setting options for rehabilitation might improve use of rehabilitation resources.METHODS: In this descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire-based study we recruited participants 45 years or older (n=608) from the New Zealand Joint Registry six months after primary total hip, total knee or uni-compartmental knee replacement.RESULTS: The cohort was predominantly New Zealand European (89.9%). The average age of participants was 68.2 years. Less rehabilitation was used pre-operatively (31.0%) than post-operatively (79.6%) and total hip replacement participants reported using less rehabilitation (63.3%) than those after total knee (90.7%) or uni-compartmental knee (80.3%) replacement (p<0.01). There were trends towards more pre-operative rehabilitation for participants living in larger urban areas, most evident for total hip replacement (p<0.05).All authors: DeJong G, Dunn JA, Hooper GJ, Hsieh CJ, Jerram KAS, Snell DLOriginally published: New Zealand Medical Journal. 133(1510):45-55, 2020 Feb 21.Fiscal year: FY2020Date added to catalog: 2020-02-26

AIMS: Our objective was to describe rehabilitation used before and after joint replacement in New Zealand and evaluate variation based on geography and ethnicity.

CONCLUSIONS: Participants reported generally positive outcomes six months after primary total hip, knee and uni-compartmental knee replacement. However, differences in use of rehabilitation services before and after joint replacement were evident depending on joint replaced. Broadening setting options for rehabilitation might improve use of rehabilitation resources.

RESULTS: The cohort was predominantly New Zealand European (89.9%). The average age of participants was 68.2 years.

There were trends towards more pre-operative rehabilitation for participants living in larger urban areas, most evident for total hip replacement (p<0.05).
