Pain in the Forecast: Investigating Weather Sensitivity Before and After Total Knee Arthroplasty
TKA leads to the resolution of WRP in nearly half of affected patients; however, a subset develops new or persistent WRP. Female sex, and multi-joint involvement are associated with WRP after TKA. These findings underscore the importance of preoperative counseling regarding expectations for pain relief, particularly in relation to weather sensitivity.
