Pre-Operative Work-up

If you've been implanted with a Repicci knee replacement which has failed, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and get compensation for your pain and suffering. Take the first step today by filling out this simple form.

Routine pre-operative work up for major surgery is required. This will often include chest Xrays, ECG, blood tests and blood crossmatching. Accurate Xrays of the affected knee is needed to measure the size of components which will be needed. (templating) It is standard practice to discontinue medications such as warfarin some days before surgery to reduce the amount of bleeding. Patients may be admitted on the day of surgery if the pre-op work-up is done in the pre-anaesthetic clinic or may come into hospital one or more days before surgery.
