34 A Diagnostic Algorithm for Patients with Painful Total Knee Replacement: What to Do When

  • Chapter
The Unhappy Total Knee Replacement

Abstract

This chapter describes our diagnostic algorithm and could guide the orthopaedic surgeon in his daily treatment decisions in patients with pain after total knee replacement. It covers all aspects of diagnostics including medical history, clinical examination, serology, microbiological workup and radiological and nuclear medicine investigations.
