Knee replacement surgery, also called knee arthroplasty (KA), is the surgical process of replacing a damaged knee. The surgery is mainly performed to relieve knee pain and physical disability, and about 80% of patients show good clinical outcomes after KA. However, some people experience acute pain just after surgery, which can develop into chronic pain of moderate-to-severe intensity in 15 to 20% of patients.
