Relationship between Postoperative Pain and Sociocultural Level in Major Orthopedic Surgery.
Authors
Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain (POP). POP is theoretically predictable and may be influenced by sociocultural differences. This study aimed to identify the relationship between POP and the sociocultural level of the patient undergoing THA or TKA.
