Impact of Compensated Cirrhosis Etiology on Postoperative Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

Cirrhotics often demonstrate worse outcomes than their non-cirrhotic counterparts following orthopaedic surgery; however, there is limited arthroplasty-focused data on this occurrence. Additionally, variances in postoperative outcomes among the different etiologies of cirrhosis have not been well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect compensated cirrhosis had on postoperative outcomes following elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
