Overview

Brief Summary

In this study we evaluate if there is a correlation between acute pain and systemic inflammatory markers after total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).

The correlation between acute pain and systemic inflammatory markers after total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is evaluated. Level of systemic inflammatory markers (CRP and IL6) are measured preoperatively and 4 and 24 hours postoperatively.
