Key Words Total knee replacement; Neuropathic pain; Arthroplasty; Systematic review; Diagnosis and management
Core Tip Total knee replacements (TKRs) are a common procedure and the incidence of neuropathic pain post-TKR has been reported as up to 50%. The literature on diagnosis and management of neuropathic pain post-TKR was systematically reviewed. Seven eligible studies had different case definitions, severity assessment and outcomes reported. Current evidence does not support clear treatment recommendations for these patients. A possible logical pathway based on the current literature is outlined, but needs evidence of effectiveness for each step.
