    Recurrent pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can arise from both knee-related and non-knee-related factors.

  • 2

    A standardized diagnostic algorithm is essential for identifying causes of pain in unhappy TKA patients before considering revision surgery.

  • 3

    SPECT/CT has emerged as a valuable imaging modality for diagnosing pain after TKA, linking structural and functional information.

  • 4

    This study aims to correlate TKA component positioning and bone tracer uptake patterns with previously identified pain patterns.

  • 5

    The research involved 83 patients who underwent SPECT/CT as part of a comprehensive diagnostic process for persistent knee pain.
