Expected outcomes were shown to be the most important drivers of physicians' classification. In this study, a panel of eight patients (four with end-stage osteoarthritis [OA] without TKA and four who recently underwent TKA) independently rated the appropriateness of TKA for the same 279 scenarios on a scale from 1 to 9 (1 to 3 were considered inappropriate, 4 to 6 inconclusive, and 7 to 9 appropriate). These patients were identified by the Arthritis Foundation with equal representation of men and women who had TKA and those who did not and were educated on the clinical meaning and relevance of each factor. The median score rating was then classified into either \"inappropriate,\" \"inconclusive,\" or \"appropriate,\" and categories were compared with those of the clinicians for the same scenarios. Classification tree (CART) analysis was applied to the patient-assessed TKA appropriateness categories to identify the most influential of the eight factors. After completing the appropriateness ratings, the same eight patients were convened in two focus groups to elucidate qualitatively any additional factors that influenced their ratings.

The condition affects one in four patients with above-knee amputations on the amputation side. While HFC in other disorders is known to decrease hip ROM and increase pelvic tilt during gait, its impact on the gait of patients with above-knee amputations remains unexplored. Typically, prosthetists design the socket with a flexion angle matching the HFC, potentially leading to compensations during the posterior stance phase of the gait cycle.

Thirty-two participants with unilateral above-knee amputations who had undergone amputation at least 1 year prior and had a minimum of 1 month of experience with their current prostheses were eligible for consideration and included in the study. After the trial, 1 of 32 participants was excluded due to other impairments affecting gait, and 9% (3 of 32) were excluded because of pain or discomfort during data acquisition on their gait, leaving 88% (28 of 32) of participants included in the analysis.

The median (IQR) age of participants in the noHFC group (n = 15) was 41 years (32 to 56), and 100% were male.
