Patients with bipolar affective disorder or schizophrenia may have multiple barriers to self-care after TJA, and are at an increased risk for undergoing revision TJA for prosthetic joint infection and mechanical causes. Increased pre-operative education and screening of this patient population may be necessary prior to performing TJA.
