Abstract
TKA demonstrated similar postoperative morbidity and mortality compared with AKA. Wound infection and risk of dehiscence were equivalent. TKA did demonstrate a higher rate of reoperation; however, neither TKA nor reoperation predicted postoperative mortality. Patients in stable physiologic condition without active infection can safely undergo elective TKA to maximize rehabilitation potential.
