Abstract
OA patients undergoing TKA are at high risk of falls, which is reduced but still present after surgery. Although some risk factors were identified, there are no studies demonstrating the possibility of reducing the incidence of this deleterious event, which warrants further research efforts to better manage this fragile population of elderly patients.
