Knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis.

Overview

Indications

Knee arthritis (inflammatory) or arthrosis (non-inflammatory degeneration)
Infected knee
Loose or malpositioned knee prothesis

Surgical procedure

Preoperative management

Patient evaluation


System	Considerations
Airway
Neurologic	Arthritis may impair neck ROM or cause cervical nerve root compression.
Cardiovascular	Patients with arthritis may have limited exercise tolerance due to knee pain, thus impairing assessment of cardiovascular function. Stress echo may be needed for cardiac evaluation.
Pulmonary
Gastrointestinal
Hematologic
Renal
Endocrine
Other	Patients may have rheumatoid arthritis

Labs and studies

Operating room setup

Patient preparation and premedication

Regional and neuraxial techniques

Adductor canal block
Femoral nerve block +/- lateral femoral cutaneous
Sciatic nerve block

Note: Some surgeons will perform a periarticular injection with a long-lasting local anesthetic (i.e. liposomal bupivicaine) prior to emergence.

Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

Standard ASA monitors
PIV

Induction and airway management

Positioning

Maintenance and surgical considerations

Emergence

Postoperative management

Disposition

Pain management

Potential complications

Procedure variants


	Variant 1	Variant 2
Unique considerations
Position
Surgical time
EBL
Postoperative disposition
Pain management
Potential complications
