Core Tip This study highlights the significant role of preoperative anxiety in determining functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty. Patients with elevated anxiety levels experienced longer hospital stays, poorer knee function, and higher complication rates. Mechanistic analyses revealed dysregulated neuroendocrine stress responses, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, impaired treatment adherence, and sleep disturbances as mediating pathways. These findings underscore preoperative anxiety as a modifiable risk factor and emphasize the importance of integrating psychological assessment and targeted interventions into perioperative care. A multidisciplinary approach addressing both mental health and physical rehabilitation may optimize recovery outcomes.
