Primary |
Changes from baseline hypertrophic Scar Thickness at 1 months post-surgical to total knee/hip arthroplasty |
Using an ultrasound machine, thickness of scar is aggregately measured to the average of 3 points: the center of the inner ring, 5 mm on both side of the centre point, which reflected the points of circumference of the selected scar sites. |

Changes of pain/itchiness sensation at 1 month post-surgical to total knee/hip arthroplasty |
Numerical rating scale (NRS) will be used to measure itchiness and pain. Patient are asked to point to the number on the Numeric Rating Scale that best represents the intensity of their pain NOW. The scale have a scale ranges from 0 to 10, with higher the number considering the worse possible pain/itchiness sensation. |
