- Abstract
Approximately one fifth of patients are not satisfied with the outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Preoperative variables associated with poorer outcomes are severity and chronicity of pain, psychological disease, poor coping strategies and pain catastrophisation. Psychological disease may be expressed as anxiety and depression. It is unclear whether anxiety and depression before TKA are constitutional or result from knee pain. The aim of this study was to explore the association of anxiety and depression with knee pain and function using specific outcome measures.
