Following TKR 95.3% patients reported to be \u2018happy\u2019 with the outcome of their surgery.

The surgeons performed a medium volume of total joint replacements and an appropriate multidisciplinary team was in place. In such settings joint replacement surgery can be safely and successfully performed in rural centres to the benefit of rural patients, surgeons and GPs.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1584.2006.00825.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,21]],"date-time":"2006-11-21T11:58:13Z","timestamp":1164110293000},"page":"253-257","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Total joint replacement surgery in a rural centre"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Grant D.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pamela C.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew L.","family":"Nott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gareth","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/pubmed\/fdl003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199704000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","unstructured":"Australian Medical Workforce Advisory Committee.The Surgical Workforce in Australia.[Cited May 2006].
