Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty TKA remains the treatment of choice for endstage osteoarthritis of the knee With an aging population the demand for TKA continues to increase placing a significant burden on a health care system that must function with limited resources Although generally accepted as a successful procedure 15–30 of patients report persistent pain following TKA Classically pain generators have been divided into intraarticular and extraarticular causes However there remains a significant subset of patients for whom pain remains unexplained Recent studies have questioned the role of biology inflammation in the persistence of pain following TKA This article aims to serve as a review of previously identified causes of knee pain following TKA as well as to explore the potential role of biology as a predictor of pain following knee replacement surgery
