Fig. 1 Radiographs (anterior-posterior and lateral) of the right knee showed a posterior stabilised mobile-bearing TKR including primary resurfacing of the patella. The femoral component appeared to be rather large…

Although pain declined predictably after TKR, at 1 year, nearly one in eight patients still complained of significant (VAS >40 mm) pain [14] But do these patients with heightened pain…
