Clinical Practice Guideline
Published November 18, 2024
This clinical practice guideline is intended for use with patients who are scheduled to undergo TJA as well as those who have a TJA and are seeking dental care.
Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) provide evidence-based recommendations for current orthopaedic diagnostic, treatment, and postoperative procedures. Multdisciplinary clinician work groups and AAOS staff work together to synthesize published research with the aim of providing a transparent and robust summary of the research findings for a particular orthopaedic disease topic.
