Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) helps restore range of motion. This study identifies MUA risk factors to support early interventions to improve functionality. Data was retrospectively reviewed in 2,925 primary TKAs from October 2013 through December 2015 from 13 orthopedic surgeons using hospital and private practice electronic medical records (EMR). Statistical analysis evaluated MUA and non-MUA groups, comparing demographic, operative, hospital-visit, and clinical factors. T-test, chi-square test, ANOVA and regression analysis were performed. Significance was set at p<0.05.Introduction
