Is Patient Resilience a Predictor of Postoperative Success Following Total Ankle Arthroplasty?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a presentation by Joseph Massalia about a study titled "Is Patient Resilience a Predictor of Postoperative Success Following Total Ankle Arthroplasty?" The study aimed to investigate whether patient resilience predicts outcomes after ankle replacement surgery. The study included 65 patients who underwent primary total ankle arthroplasty. Patients were divided into low and normal resilience groups using a resilience scoring system. There was no significant difference in pain scores, functional scores, or satisfaction between the two groups. The study had limitations, such as small sample size and biases in survey responses. Although it couldn't prove a significant impact, most patients experienced decreased pain and improved function post-surgery, and were satisfied with the results. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed. No credits were granted.
