Residual knee pain and functional outcome following total knee arthroplasty in osteoarthritic patients

Patients’ perceptions of physical activity before and after joint replacement: a systematic review with meta-ethnographic analysis

“…Furthermore, with the current recommendation on movement restrictions applied by some surgeons, most notably in flexion and rotation, it may be expected that patients following THA would present with some added anxieties about physical activity and prosthesis dislocation compared with the TKA population 39. Conversely, the residual pain experienced by typically 20–30% of all patients post-TKA may be perceived as a barrier to physical activity 40. None of these findings were reported within the current qualitative evidence base in physical activity.…”

Chondrogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in 3-dimensional, photocrosslinked hydrogel constructs: Effect of cell seeding density and material stiffness

“…Total joint arthroplasty, which is usually reserved for severe cases of OA, increases mobility but eliminates the potential for biological joint repair and requires a major surgery, which may not be an option for many patients. 5,6 In addition, this repair has limited lifespan in young patients, thus necessitating multiple surgeries over a lifetime. Given the respective limitations of these techniques, new approaches towards treating OA are actively being pursued.…”

Evaluation of a nurse‐led intervention to improve adherence to recommended guidelines for prevention of venous thromboembolism for hip and knee arthroplasty patients: A quasi‐experimental study

“…There was no significant difference between the overall postdischarge adherence rates reported by patients from both study sites. A retrospective review of 357 knee arthroplasty patients , 1 year postsurgery, reported 111 (31.1%) patients were found to have residual knee pain, which had an impact on functional outcome (Nashi, Hong, & Krishna, ).…”
