Core Tip

Core Tip: Current evidence shows that a protocolized approach toward enhanced recovery after surgery with multidisciplinary collaboration improves outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). As healthcare professionals continue to refine and evolve enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in patients undergoing TKA, the integration of multidisciplinary teams in ERAS implementation is critical to achieving optimal patient outcomes.
