Preoperative planning and perioperative management for minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty.
The introduction of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has led to new clinical pathways for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MIS TKA outcomes are affected by multiple factors--the surgery itself; preoperative planning and medical management; preoperative patient education; preemptive perioperative and postoperative analgesia; mode of anesthesia; optimal rehabilitation; and enlightened home care and social services-and therefore an integrated team approach to patient and surgery is required.
