The importance of pre-operative teaching in the prevention of falls for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) post-surgical patients. Name Institution Course Instructor Date Introduction Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) also known as total knee replacement is a common surgical procedure in the orthopedic department which is conducted to about 130000 patients every year in the United States (Johnson et al. 2014). The surgery which has been practiced for over 50 years involves the replacement of the end of the femur and the end of the tibia are replaced with a prosthesis. The prosthesis is usually composed of a metallic shell of the femur bone and a channeled plastic piece is used on the tibia side (Ibrahim Khan Nizam & Haddad 2013). However other materials including ceramic and polyethylene are also used to improve longevity. The common indication of the TKA is altered mobility and unbearable pain an actionable PICO question. Nursing management  45(8) 9-12. Ibrahim M. S. Khan M. A. Nizam I. & Haddad F. S. (2013).
