ResultsFollow-up time (p < 0.001), gender (p < 0.001), joint (p < 0.001), and interaction FU by joint (p < 0.001) had significant effects on WOMAC total and sub-scores. Patients after TKA perceived less improvement in all dimensions in comparison to THA patients (p < 0.001). ConclusionWOMAC score changes after THA or TKA are joint-specific.
