TL;DR: Patients managed at hospitals and by surgeons with greater volumes of total knee replacement have lower risks of perioperative adverse events following primaryTotal knee replacement.

TL;DR: The incidence rates of dislocation, pulmonary embolism, and deep infection are highest immediately after total hip replacement, but they continue to be elevated throughout the first three postoperative months.

TL;DR: At the conclusion of a total knee arthroplasty with cement, topical application of tranexamic acid directly into the surgical wound reduced postoperative bleeding by 20% to 25%, resulting in 16% to 17% higher postoperative hemoglobin levels compared with placebo, with no clinically important increase in complications being identified in the treatment groups.
