Abstract:

〔Abstract〕Objective: To summarize the nursing care measures in total knee arthroplasty by using a self-made positioning tool of
distal femoral extramedullary osteotomy. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 50 patients undergoing TKA in our
hospital. Results: All the surgeries were successful, and patients' knee joint function recovered well. There was no infection case
caused by improper nursing measures. Conclusion: The better preoperative preparations the operation room nurses make, the better
postoperative infection can be controlled; the operation time can be shortened and blood loss can be effectively reduced when nurses
have a good understanding of surgical procedures and surgical instruments; good cooperation between doctors and nurses is one of the
keys to successful operation.
