Summary

This study looked at 62 people having knee replacement surgery to see if a J-shaped cut (instead of the usual straight cut) reduces numbness and pain around the scar. The J-shaped cut curves at the bottom to avoid a nerve that often gets hurt. Researchers measured numbness and pain before surgery and at 2 and 6 months after. The goal is to improve comfort and satisfaction after surgery.
