A study at Hassenpflug University of the Schleswig-Holstein Medical Center in Germany, has found that men take longer than women to recover from knee replacement surgery, but after a year, they catch up and there are no differences in surgery outcomes at that time.
When the authors took age, BMI (body mass index) and co-morbidities into account, the gender difference remained at three months after surgery but not at six months.
The findings have been published online in Springer’s journal Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research.
