Arthritis, Steroids, and Total Knee Replacement

If you have rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis or take steroids, total knee replacement surgery poses a higher risk of complications to you. For example, you are more likely to have infections and a delayed healing process. Therefore, it is essential for you to communicate with your healthcare team throughout your recovery to make sure that these possible situations are taken care of appropriately.
