Brief Summary

Aims The primary aim of this prospective, multi-centre study is to describe the rates of returning to golf following hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty in an active golfing population. Secondary aims will include determining the timing of return to golf, changes in ability, handicap, and mobility, and assessing joint-specific and health-related outcomes following surgery. Methods This is a multi-centre, prospective, longitudinal study between the Hospital for Special Surgery, New York City and Edinburgh Orthopaedics, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Both centres are high-volume arthroplasty centres, specialising in upper and lower limb arthroplasty. Patients undergoing hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty at either centres, and who report being golfers prior to arthroplasty will be included. Patient-reported outcome measures will obtained at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. A one-year period of recruitment will be undertaken of arthroplasty patients at both sites. Conclusions The results of this prospective study will provide clinicians with accurate data to deliver to patients with regards to the likelihood of return to golf and timing of when they can expect to return to golf following their hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty, as well as their joint-specific functional outcomes. This will help patients to manage their postoperative expectations and plan their postoperative recovery pathway.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Patients scheduled for hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty at each centre will be asked if they consider themselves a golfer. Potential patients will include those undergoing hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty at the two medical centres. Patients will be enrolled preoperatively and followed for 1 year postoperatively.

You may qualify if:

  • \. Age ≥18 years 2. A self-reported golfer 3. Able to consent to treatment 4. Assessed and listed for one of the following surgical procedures
  • Total hip arthroplasty
  • Hip resurfacing
  • Revision hip arthroplasty
  • Total knee arthroplasty
  • Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
  • Revision knee arthroplasty
  • Total shoulder arthroplasty
  • Reverse shoulder arthroplasty
  • Shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty
  • Revision shoulder arthroplasty

You may not qualify if:

  • \. Patients unable to comply with post-operative data gathering including completing questionnaires 2. Patients declining operative management 3. No desire to return to golf postoperatively 4. Medical co-morbidities that affect the patient's ability to play golf, that will ultimately not allow the patient to return to golf postoperatively
