Abstract
The method by which surgeons conduct outpatient total knee procedures has yet to be fully elucidated. Literature demonstrates different experiences from various care protocols in place across the nation. This article reviews current recommendations for implementing successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty outpatient protocols. Specifically, information regarding anesthesia and analgesia modalities, perioperative care, operative technique, and postoperative care within outpatient TKA pathways is discussed.
