The aim of this study is to systematically review whether the presence of altered central pain modulation pre-surgical influences outcome after total knee replacement (TKR) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and if so which indices of central pain modulation predict poor outcome after TKR....
Inflammatory reaction is a major component of surgical stress response8. Shen et al. found that C-reactive pro- tein considerablly increased in patients with total knee arthroplasty9. C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced rap- idly in response to inflammation, infection, tissue damage, and ...
