Implication

Systematic review reports incidence and management of complex regional pain syndrome after TKA, indicating potential underdiagnosis.

Key Points

  • The incidence of complex regional pain syndrome after total knee arthroplasty is reported at 2.8%, revealing significant pain challenges.
  • Symptoms such as knee stiffness and hyperalgesia were observed in over 60% of cases, indicating common challenges for patients.
  • Two independent reviewers conducted a systematic review across multiple databases to extract studies on CRPS after TKA.
  • This assessment highlights the need for improved diagnostic criteria, as CRPS may frequently go underdiagnosed in TKA patients.
