title: Preoperative planning and perioperative management for minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty.
abstract: 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.
