| Abstract |
Patients who undergo primary total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty show better clinical outcomes, improved quality of life and increased participation in leisure activities; however, the differences between primary THA and TKA in older patients are unknown. The aim of the study was to compare the Western Ontario and McMasters University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) scores and changes in WOMAC scores, the Medical Outcomes study 12-item short-form version 2 (SF-12) mental and physical health scales, satisfaction and frequency of participation in leisure activities in older osteoarthritis patients with a mean age of 67.9 ± 10.6 years who underwent primary THA and TKA. Data from 170 THA and 169 TKA patients were collected 1 week preoperatively through self-reporting of WOMAC scores and SF-12. These parameters, level of satisfaction and frequency of participation in leisure activities were collected 1 year postoperatively by self-reporting questionnaires. The THA group of patients showed better WOMAC scores (P < 0.05), changes in WOMAC scores (P < 0.05), physical component summary (PCS) of SF-12 (P < 0.01) and changes in PCS scores (P < 0.01) compared with the TKA group. In addition, the THA patients showed higher overall satisfaction (91.90% vs. 83.60%), pain relief satisfaction (87.20% vs. 77.40%) and functional improvement satisfaction (90.10% vs. 83.08%) in comparison with the TKA patients. Furthermore, a higher frequency of participation in leisure activities was achieved in THA patients, except for intellectual leisure activities. These findings suggest that primary THA provides superior clinical outcomes, quality of life, satisfaction, and participation in leisure activities compared with primary TKA in older patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 September 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Die Orthopädie
#276
of 678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#307,608
of 351,592 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Orthopädie
#6
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 678 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 351,592 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
