Arthroplasty Research
About Us
The Total Joint Arthroplasty (TJA) group undertakes clinical and health services research to improve the care and outcomes of patients with arthritis, including those who have had total joint arthroplasty (replacement). TJA is a surgical procedure in which a damaged joint is removed and replaced with a device called a prosthesis.
How We Improve Patient Care + Outcomes
- Identifying factors that affect recovery from surgery
- Evaluating new interventions, both surgical and non-surgical
- Examining different models of patient care to improve patient access and care delivery
- Educating patients and their families, clinicians, researchers, and decision-makers in our research planning and evaluation
Primary Areas of Interest
- Total joint arthroplasty rehabilitation and reablement
- Health services delivery across the care continuum including those patients living with arthritis
- Surgical management of total joint arthroplasty
- Virtual care delivery to facilitate patient access
