Perioperative Care of the Orthopedic Patient with Connective Tissue Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Patients with connective tissue diseases and inflammatory arthritis frequently require orthopedic surgery in the setting of poorly responsive inflammatory arthritis. Multisystem involvement in these patients frequently includes cardiopulmonary disease that requires identification and investigation preoperatively. Results of surgery are gratifying specifically with respect to pain relief but functional improvements may lag behind patients with osteoarthritis undergoing the same procedures. Careful collaboration between surgeons, anesthesiologists, and rheumatologists is fundamental in order to optimize outcome.
