[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 272909, member: 3"] [h3] Table of Contents [/h3] [h1][b]Abstract[/b][/h1] [b]Background[/b] Research Regarding The Impact Of Hypogonadism Following Primary Total Knee arthroplasty (TKA) is limited. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate whether patients with hypogonadism undergoing primary TKA are at increased odds of: (1) medical complications; (2) revisions; (3) in-hospital lengths of stay (LOS); and (4) cost of care.
