Abstract

Once the patient is admitted for the operation, it is necessary to carefully review again whether TKA is really needed and whether the patient’s condition is suitable for undergoing the surgery. The knee joint and general condition must be carefully reassessed through history taking and physical examination on preoperative checkup. If no specific problems are noted during the preoperative checkup, the patients should be educated regarding postoperative care, progress, prognosis, and complications of TKA, and meticulous preparation should be carried out for the operation in order to prevent the occurrence of any incidents or complications perioperatively.
