Pain persistence following knee replacement (KR) occurs in ∼20-30% of patients. Although several studies have identified preoperative risk factors for persistent post-KR pain, few have focused on post-KR contributing factors. We sought to determine whether altered nociceptive signaling and other peripheral nociceptive drivers present post-operatively contribute to post-KR pain.
