Risk factors for perioperative nerve injury associated with total knee arthroplasty: Analysis of a national administrative database
As expected, the incidence of nerve injury following TKA was low at 0.3%. Independent risk factors were identified for this adverse outcome, with the highest risk associated with revision surgeries. These findings, drawn from the largest cohort studied to date, offer valuable insights for risk stratification, and should inform patient discussions.
