Quel bilan avant chirurgie prothétique de hanche ou de genou ?

In patients scheduled for hip or knee replacement, routine preoperative tests are guided by clinical examination. Only determination of preoperative hemoglobin concentration, blood, and electrocardiogram in patients older than 65 years are required systematically. Urinary infection having no significant impact on prosthesis infection, preoperative urine culture is not required. Evaluation of haemostasis disorders is performed exclusively in patients having haemorrhagic clinical symptoms. Checking of dental status and dental removal depends on clinical symptoms.
