title: Patient Centeredness in Total Joint Replacement: Beyond the Slogan.
abstract: Patient-centered care (PCC) is gaining considerable momentum among health care professionals and policy-making authorities. The need for PCC stems from the innumerable benefits of adopting such a system. The practice of PCC in orthopedic surgery in general, and in total joint replacement in particular, is still in its youth. However, present literature already establishes the need for applying PCC in total joint replacement. Extensive research and effort should be invested to better grasp and define the dimensions of PCC as they relate to total joint replacement.
