[Painful knee after total knee arthroplasty - what can be done?]

Painful knee after total knee arthroplasty - what can be done? Abstract. About one third of all patients after total knee arthroplasty experience persistent or recurring pain and / or dissatisfaction. Clinically, the symptoms are very complex and vary greatly from individual to individual. Diagnostic clarification is difficult and should be carried out by an orthopaedic surgeon specialised in knee arthroplasty revisions. Only if the cause(s) of the complaints are identified is there a chance of improvement, regardless of whether conservative or surgical treatment is used.
