Model-Based Pain and Function Outcome Trajectory Types for Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroplasty: A Secondary Analysis from a Randomized Clinical Trial.
Abstract
Knee arthroplasty (KA) is an effective surgical procedure. However, clinical studies suggest that a considerable number of patients continue to experience substantial pain and functional loss following surgical recovery. We aimed to estimate pain and function outcome trajectory types for persons undergoing KA, and to determine the relationship between pain and function trajectory types, and pre-surgery predictors of trajectory types.
