The Role of Preoperative Radiologic Severity, Sensory Testing, and Temporal Summation on Chronic Postoperative Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

This study investigated associations between preoperative TSP, thermal sensitivity, and radiologic severity for the development of chronic postoperative pain after TKA. Methods: Radiologic KOA (Kellgren and Lawrence), TSP, and thermal stimuli were collected, preoperatively. Clinical knee pain intensity (VAS 0-10) was assessed before and 12 months following TKA. Patients were categorized into a chronic postoperative pain group if they experienced
