Summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective surgical procedure for reducing knee joint pain and improving the quality of life of patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. Although advanced surgical techniques and prosthesis design are achieved, postoperative pain is a significant factor that affects those patients who have undergone TKA with a satisfactory outcome. The reasons for postoperative pain after TKA are somewhat unclear Although there are studies evaluating the preoperative and postoperative conditions of the patients using pain scores, these values differ greatly in patients who are suitable for the same procedure. Previous studies have demonstrated that variability exists between individuals in basal pain sensitivity, which is assessed using quantitative sensory testing To our knowledge, only one study has investigated the pain condition using an algometer and postoperative pain and the analgesic requirement on the day of surgery and during the postoperative period.Unlike the above-cited study, in this study, we evaluated the effect of using a tourniquet on early-stage pain and 1-year postoperative functional outcomes when patients were divided into two groups according to the pain threshold.
