Abstract
This chapter discusses preoperative assessment and includes discussion on assessing risk factors for prosthetic joint replacement, vascular issues for major joint replacement, what risk assessment for vascular complications should include, acute limb ischaemia, vascular injury, general cardiovascular considerations, pressure area ulceration, and amputation and rehabilitation. The importance of this aspect of patient care cannot be overstated. Pre-incision improvement in patient physiology to improve the chances of primary wound healing will reduce the chances of prosthetic joint infection.
