Specialized clinical pathways for total knee replacement decrease hospital length of stay and significantly reduce complications.
Implementation of specialized clinical pathways and newer perioperative protocols may decrease length of stay and complications in total knee replacement.
May support specialized TKA pathways; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials before practice change.
Abstract:Historically, the implementation of specialized clinical pathways has not only decreased the length of hospital stay in total knee replacement but has also actually significantly decreased complications as well. We developed newer perioperative anesthesia and rehabilitation protocols and co
