Abstract
The strategy for soft-tissue management following total joint arthroplasty begins with prevention. The medical status of the patient is optimized preoperatively. Meticulous surgical technique with liberalized indication for flap closure primarily will reduce soft-tissue failures. Early identification and aggressive team management of complications are critical to decrease long-term morbidity and to obtain a good functional result.
