| Title | Back and thigh pain of unusual etiology complicates rehabilitation after bilateral total knee arthroplasty. | | Author(s) | Schuchmann JA | | Institution | Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Scott and White Clinic, Texas A&M University College of Medicine, Temple, TX 76508, USA. | | Source | Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2008 Jul; 87(7):585-9. | | Abstract | Total knee arthroplasty is frequently performed and usually associated with favorable results. A case is presented where persistent back and thigh pain limited rehabilitation progress following bilateral total knee arthroplasty procedures. The pain was found to be related to the presence of a symptomatic 5.24-cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with the pain resolving after endovascular repair of the aneurysm. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
