Abstract

Postoperative patient satisfaction, an important quality outcome measure, is highly influenced by preoperative patient education and expectations. Lately, the patients have been more and more involved in the decision-making process related to their care. Patient satisfaction is often associated with improved function and decreased disability postoperative. It is an aim to improve the efficiency and quality of health care, and patient-related outcome scores are frequently used to evaluate the outcomes from the patient’s perspective. Literature investigating the influence of patient education and expectations and the importance of comorbidity on the postoperative outcome has recently caught increased attention from orthopedic surgeons.
