It is clinically important to anticipate the likelihood of pain catastrophizing in patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Persistent pain and diminished physical function following TKA are independently associated with preoperative pain catastrophizing. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram model to predict pain catastrophizing in patients who have severe osteoarthritis undergoing primary TKA.
