Our data demonstrated a 41.9% increase in patients receiving TKA and 28.8% increase in rTKA from the years 2006 to 2014. The data showed a 22.21% and a 28.78% "complication" rate with TKA and rTKA, with postoperative anemia being the most common complication. The top 3 medical comorbidities were hypertension, obesity, and diabetes for both groups and with increased focus on perioperative optimization, future analyses into preoperative medical optimization, and improved primary arthroplasty protocol may result in improved postoperative outcomes.
