Around 44% of TKR patients2continue to experience pain of any severity 3-4 years after surgery and 15% patients reported severe to extreme persistent pain despite the invasive knee surgery. They also face a lot of restriction in day-to-day life. The vulnerabilities include having had persistent pain in the past, having psychosocial factors like depression, anxiety, poor mental health, and having other habits such as smoking.
