Arthrodesis Perioperative Care Protocol

Arthrodesis perioperative care involves preparing for, managing during, and recovery from joint fusion surgery. Before surgery, patients may undergo assessments and follow guidelines to reduce risks. During the procedure, sterile techniques are used to fuse the joint, promoting bone growth. Afterward, care includes pain management, infection prevention, and activity restrictions to support healing. Follow-up visits ensure proper recovery, and physical therapy may be recommended to regain strength and function once healing is sufficient. Overall, the protocol aims to optimize surgical success, minimize complications, and ensure the patient’s safety throughout the healing process.
