Summary

In this study we evaluate if there is a correlation between acute pain and systemic inflammatory markers after total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).

Detailed description

The correlation between acute pain and systemic inflammatory markers after total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is evaluated. Level of systemic inflammatory markers (CRP and IL6) are measured preoperatively and 4 and 24 hours postoperatively. These measurements are correlated to postoperative pain (a detailed assessment of pain at rest and during ambulation). We pole blood-samples collected prospectively (from two data set)
