Does the information level of cancer patients correlate with quality of life?
In the study, although the level of information did not affect the quality of life, satisfaction with the information was associated with a better quality of life. The finding stresses the importance of a sensible disclosure of diagnosis and prognosis.
Although the balanced gap implantation technique resulted in a wide inter-patient variability for femoral component rotation, this variable rotation was not found to be associated with abnormal patellar position. Preoperative displacement results in a higher risk at a postoperatively displaced patella. The balanced gap technique can safely be used without an elevated risk for patella malposition.
