Quality of life reported by patients with ecchymosis following total knee arthroplasty
The incidence of ecchymosis after TKA is high under anticoagulant therapy, leading to increased pain sensitivity, decreased function, and quality of life in patients. Age may be a risk factor for early post-TKA ecchymosis. Incorporating information on ecchymosis into preoperative education and providing appropriate psychological interventions for patients experiencing ecchymosis may be necessary.
