ICJR COLLECTIONS: Perioperative Management of TJA Patients
What are the most important risk factors to consider in patient optimization before total joint arthroplasty?
Which drugs are appropriate for chemoprophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis?
What’s the latest on the role of tranexamic acid in preventing blood loss and reducing the transfusion rate?
Surgeons need to consider a myriad of medical issues in the overall care of their total hip and total knee arthroplasty patients. To help, we’ve collected resources on perioperative management of total hip and total knee arthroplasty patients from the ICJR archives, including presentations from ICJR meetings, articles, and clinical reports.
Note that we have not covered infection prevention in this list of resources. Information on periprosthetic joint infection can be found here.
