This APP contains a self assessment survey of hip pain as a guideline when surgical referral is appropriate.This application was authored and designed by Dr. Russell Meldrum. He is the expert source of information on hip replacement surgery and hip exercises.Total hip replacement surgery started in 1960 and has becomeincreasing successful in alleviating pain and restoring function topatients. Patient success and satisfaction depends on the surgeonmatching the patient’s complaints to those symptoms that are bestaddressed with surgery. One way to do this is to use long andimpractical outcome studies that include surveys to measure andcompare the pain and disability before and after surgery. To increasetheir efficiency, many physicians use a limited number of similarquestions as part of their patient Interview. This direct type oflimited questioning is what and how I have structured this APP forpossible hip replacement patients and/or their friends and familyThere are three Meta Data sources to draw from.1) My personal experience. I have a 15 year history in successfullyperforming this procedure (RussellMeldrum.com) and teaching residentphysician and surgeons how to, and who is best to perform thissurgical procedure on in order to maximize patient satisfaction.2) There are many textbooks intended to educate physicians andstudents with suggested questions and techniques for measurement ofmusculoskeletal pain and function. One example of a popular bookwould be:Callahagn, J. J., A. G. Rosenberg, et al. (1998). The Adult Hip.History and Physical Examination. K. L. Garvin and T. M. Mckillip.Philidelphia, Lippincott-Raven. 1: 315-332.3) There are many journal periodical articles mainly in the Americanand British Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, and the Journal ofArthroplasty that detail the success of hip replacement surgery byusing the lengthy and previously mentioned outcome surveys. Someexamples would be:CRAWFORD, R. W. and D. W. MURRAY (1997). "Total hip replacement:indications for surgery and risk factors for failure." Annals of theRheumatic Diseases 56(8): 455-457.Hirvonen, J., M. Blom, et al. (2006). "Health-related quality of lifein patients waiting for major joint replacement. A comparison betweenpatients and population controls." Health and Quality of Life Outcomes4(1): 3.
