Risk Calculator Helps Patients Determine Outcomes

The University of Sheffield and University of Bristol have developed a new risk and benefit calculator for patients considering joint replacement surgery. The tool uses data from the National Joint Registry in the United Kingdom. “This tool is designed to highlight your personalised estimated outcome and risks for hip and knee joint replacements,” according to the website. Individuals can complete the questionnaire on their own or with their physician. Go to the Patient Decision Support Tool for Joint Replacement.
