Background: Chronic pain after total knee replacement is common but remains poorly understood. Management options for patients with this condition are traditionally limited to pharmacological approaches. Objective: This article presents a case of using spinal cord stimulation in the management of chronic knee pain following total knee replacement. Design: Case report Setting: Pain management clinic Methods: A 68-year old patient presented with a 3-year history of persistent knee pain following total knee replacement. After failing to respond to medications and nerve blocks, a trial of spinal cord stimulation and subsequent permanent implantation of a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) were performed. The Oxford knee score (OKS) was used to assess her pain and functionality before and after SCS implantation. Results: The patient reported improvement in her pain and function. Her baseline OKS was 39 and fell to 26 one year post implantation of an SCS representing a reduction of pain and disability from severe to moderate. Limitations: A case report. Conclusion: Spinal cord stimulation might be an option in the management of refractory knee pain following total knee replacement.

Knee Revision

A 63-year-old woman was referred to the specialised knee revision clinic with ongoing knee pain after total knee replacement. She incidentally had cobalt and chromium levels measured. These were seen to be elevated. Comprehensive assessment and investigation did not identify any other source of cobalt or chromium. Aseptic loosening of the knee was diagnosed, and the knee was revised. At the time of surgery, the tissue was seen to be darkened consistent with metallosis. Multiple samples excluded infection on extended cultures. Aspirated fluid showed that periprosthetic fluid had elevated cobalt levels. The knee was successfully revised with good symptomatic outcome and significantly, over the course of several months post-revision, the cobalt and chromium levels returned to normal.

Abstract Background:Chronic knee pain after a total knee replacement has been estimated to affect 10 to 30% of patients and is related to dissatisfaction with surgery, reduced function and reduced quality of life. Rehabilitation is often prescribed in the subacute period post-operatively, but it may offer benefit to the increasing numbers of patients with chronic pain after their knee replacement. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation to improve pain, function and quality of life in people with chronic knee pain persisting for more than 3 months following a total knee replacement.Methods: The systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines with a search of the online databases Ovid Medline, Embase via Ovid, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, Ovid Emcare and Proquest from their earliest date to July 12, 2020. The search criteria included English language randomised controlled trials of rehabilitation strategies in any setting to treat people with chronic knee pain, defined as knee pain persisting for more than 3 months, following a total knee replacement. Rehabilitation programs included exercise therapy, patient education, cognitive and mind-body strategies and self-management and excluded medication trials, procedural techniques and complementary therapies. Results:There were 254 abstracts screened for eligibility with 13 remaining for full-text screening. Following full-text screening, there were no studies that met the eligibility criteria for evaluating rehabilitation therapy to treat chronic knee pain persisting for more than 3 months following a total knee replacement.Conclusion:Despite the high volume of knee replacement surgery and the high incidence of moderate to severe chronic pain ensuing, there is currently no evidence available that rehabilitation commencing three months after surgery can effectively treat chronic pain and disability following a total knee replacement.
