acute postoperative pain scores during the 2 weeks after TKA compared with males.5 However, by 6 weeks, sex differences in reported pain were no longer evident.5 Perruccio and colleagues also investigated the influence of sex on post-TKA outcomes.4 Preoperatively, females had significantly worse knee pain
