Similar to other arthroplasties, specialized therapy may benefit patients following TWA by improving rehabilitation outcomes. This study investigates the association between TWA postoperative occupational therapy and patient outcomes, hypothesizing improved range of motion (ROM), fewer complications, and reduced costs from fewer additional surgeries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review was conducted on 35 patients (average age, 66; range, 56-78) who underwent TWA.
