RESUMO
A artroplastia total de joelho (ATJ) é um procedimento reconhecidamente bem sucedido. O envelhecimento da população e a crescente demanda de qualidade de vida têm aumentado muito a indicação do procedimento. Entretanto, a ATJ apresenta algumas complicações que ainda carecem de uma resolução definitiva. A dor após a ATJ ocorre por uma miríade de causas, as quais devem ser sistematicamente pesquisadas a fim de se obter um diagnóstico e tratamento corretos. História, exame físico, exames laboratoriais e de imagens devem todos ser incluídos nessa propedêutica e repetidos até que uma razão plausível seja apontada, já que a indicação de revisão apenas pela dor pode ter resultados catastróficos.
ABSTRACT
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is known for being a successful procedure. The aging of the population and the growing demand for quality of life have greatly increased indication for the procedure. Nonetheless, TKA presents some complications that still lack definitive resolutions. Painful TKA is caused by a myriad of reasons that should be systematically studied to arrive at a correct diagnosis and treatment. History, physical examination, laboratory and image exams must all be included in the workup and repeated until a plausible reason is identified, since pain as the only indication for TKA revision may have catastrophic results.
