Preoperative Pain Sensitivity Has a Greater Impact on Clinical Outcomes Than Coronal Alignment Strategy in Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Both preoperative pain sensitivity and coronal alignment philosophy may influence patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study investigated whether pain sensitivity predicts PROMs in robotic-assisted TKAs randomized to functional alignment (FA) or mechanical align...
