Metrics Details

Book Chapter Description

Many orthopedic surgical procedures are performed on a non-urgent basis, with many patients having multiple medical co-morbidities which increase their risks for complications. Preoperative medical optimization should be performed for all patients, focusing on both modifiable and non-modifiable medical risk factors. As this optimization may involve input from multiple medical providers, preoperative checklists may be implemented to help the orthopedic surgeon organize these factors and ensure patient readiness for surgery.
