Fig. 1 Proportions of patients whose expectations were not met, were met exactly, and were exceeded for each of the outcome domains, as measured prospectively by the difference between pre-operative expectations of improvement and the actual improvement reported at 12-months post-operatively. (n=69–82; the analyses excluded those patients who indicated “don’t know” for their pre-operative expectations.)
