Literature Review (MUA After TKA: Women)
We have done some research recently on the incidence of MUA with a focus on women. This is considered a Literature Review.

Literature Review: This is a comprehensive summary and analysis of the existing scholarly literature on a specific topic. A literature review seeks to identify what has already been written on a subject, identify key themes and debates, and point out any gaps in the current research. It is often a preliminary step in a larger research project but can also be a standalone publication.

MUA after TKA: Women
This infographic is an easy way to digest the findings. It provides a quick look at the incidence and risk factors of Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). This review has a specific focus on women and MUA.
