Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The condition being observed in this study are patients who have undergone a total knee arthroplasty for a primary diagnosis of osteoarthritis at Robina Hospital within the previous 6 months of the survey data collection.

Some data collected in this study will involve no direct patient involvement and will be obtained via medical records, including demographic characteristics and the frequency and type of supervised physiotherapy received following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgery.

The patients in this study will also be directly involved in completing a 10-question survey asking them retrospectively about their experience with rehabilitation and outpatient physiotherapy following their TKA (10 minutes) as well as a self-reported functional outcome survey the Oxford Knee Score (10 minutes).

Summary
Brief summary
Despite continuous advancement in surgical technique and pain management, many patients remain dissatisfied following their total knee arthroscopy (TKA). From a patient-centred perspective, a TKA is only successful if the patient is satisfied with the outcome. In recent years, many studies have described the significance of patient expectations, level of function, post-operative pain levels, surgical techniques, and comorbidities to patient satisfaction. While current literature often mentions a correlation between patient satisfaction and rehabilitation, there is minimal comprehensive research on the topic.

This study aims to identify the surgical and physiotherapy predictors of patient satisfaction during the rehabilitation process. These findings may play a role in implementing changes to clinical practice and thus, improving patient satisfaction in Gold Coast Health facilities with the potential for broader impact across QLD Health.
