Core Tip
Core Tip: As the rates of total knee arthroplasty are currently increasing, there is a need to study the potential complications that may occur after the surgery. This study highlights the complications that occur postoperatively and potential risk factors that can contribute to the complications. It also assesses the relationship between age, sex, co-morbidities, length of stay, and early readmission after surgery, categorizing these readmissions by surgical and medical reasons depending on the type of treatment received by the patients.
