Description
An account of the resource
The purpose of this article is to review the issues regarding preoperative patient expectations for total knee arthroplasty and whether or not these are fulfilled after surgery. The demographics of the typical total knee arthroplasty patient are changing, and the expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery have been changing as well. Patients are younger, heavier, more active, and often come to the surgeon's office with information provided via the Internet that may be inaccurate and/or misleading. Many expect and assume that the operation will return the knee to "normal." Traditional outcomes measures used by orthopedic surgeons to determine the quality of the results achieved are inadequate and do not take into account the higher expectations of current patients. Various strategies have been developed to improve satisfaction after the surgery. These include preoperative patient education, less invasive surgical approaches, advances in prosthetic design, multimodal pain management, and aggressive postoperative rehabilitation. Using these strategies will make preoperative expectations more realistic and improve postoperative satisfaction.

Description
An account of the resource
The purpose of this study was to report the results of a specific treatment protocol for athletes with spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis of the lumbar spine. A retrospective study with recent follow-up was performed on 82 patients treated with restriction of activity, bracing, and physical therapy. All of the patients were involved in sports at first onset of symptoms. Sixty-six patients were boys and 16 were girls. Activities involving repetitive hyperextension and/or extension rotation of the lumbar spine were described as painful in 98% of the patients. Of the 62 patients with spondylolysis, 53 (85%) had an L5 defect and nine (15%) an L4 defect (90% of these 62 patients' defects were located in the most caudad mobile vertebra). Thirty-seven patients had bilateral pars defects, and 25 had unilateral defects. Eight patients had normal roentgenograms, but these eight had abnormal bone scans. Nine patients with spondylolysis underwent posterolateral fusion. Average follow-up was 4.2 years. Fifty-two (84%) had excellent results, eight had good results, and two had fair results. Twenty patients had a spondylolisthesis: 12 were grade I, six were grade II, and two were grade III. Twelve patients (60%) required surgery; 9 had excellent results, one had good results, one had a fair result, and one had a poor result. Pars defects must be suspected in the differential of low back pain in young athletes. Oblique radiographs are frequently diagnostic; however, if the history and examination are suggestive despite normal plain films, a bone scan should be obtained. Nonoperative management of pars defects is frequently successful.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
