Summary
This study looks at whether using a patient decision aid during doctor visits helps people with severe hip or knee osteoarthritis make better choices about surgery. Researchers will track how informed patients feel, their involvement in decisions, and their pain, function, and quality of life for up to a year after surgery. About 615 adults in Denmark who are eligible for joint replacement are taking part.
