Researchers at The University of Sydney are interviewing patients to learn about their experience of persistent pain following total knee replacement.
In Australia, 70,000 Total Knee Replacements (TKR) are performed every year. While TKR improves overall pain and function, 1 in 4 patients experience persistent pain after TKR.
Led by University of Sydney and University of New South Wales researchers are developing a model of care for people who have persistent pain after knee replacement surgery – the EPIK model of care. EPIK will identify and treat patients, primarily via telehealth for scalability and accessibility across Australia.
