"Pain without loosening"-revisions of knee arthroplasties in the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Register

CONCLUSIONS: The indication "pain without loosening" covered patients revised due to pain, but other hidden indications were also present. Stiffness and malposition of components were hidden indications and these are not provided as indication options in the DKR and other registers. The relatively high frequency of arthrosis grade 1-2 prior to primary knee arthroplasty is concerning and may explain the occurrence of knee pain without any other pathology present.FUNDING: The Danish Rheumatism Association, the Region of Southern Denmark, the Research Fund of Region Zeeland and Region of Southern Denmark, and the University of Southern Denmark.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not relevant.PMID:38314731 | DOI:10.61409/A04230242
