Abstract

Wound healing problems after TKA can be minimized by identifying at-risk patients, using postoperative oxygen liberally, careful surgical technique, and allowing wound healing to take priority over early motion. If a wound problem develops, prompt treatment will decrease the risk of catastrophic deep infection.
