Associations between early postoperative pain outcome measures and late functional outcomes in patients after knee arthroplasty.

<h4>Introduction/aim</h4>Early rehabilitation, return to daily life activities and function are the ultimate goals of perioperative care. It is unclear which pain-related patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) mirror treatment effects or are related with early and late functional outco...
