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

Positioning
Maintenance and surgical considerations
Emergence
Postoperative management
