|---|---|
| Original uncertainty examples | Why do so many patients have continuing knee pain after total knee replacement? ~ What are the causes of chronic pain following TKR ~ I see patients with seemingly normal knee replacement in a lot of pain months after the operation ~ why only some patients will get pain after the surgery? ~ predicting the likelihood of success following hip/or knee replacement? ~ Predicting the degree of success following a knee replacement? ~ How can I assess my personal health risks by having a knee or hip replacement and whether it is likely to be a success for me? ~ Are there any pain prognostic indicators which help identify the poor responders post surgical? ~ Which patient types benefit most or least from surgery? |
