The discussion of TKA involves management of patient expectations, realistic goal setting, and optimization of preoperative morbidities. With the available data, it is safe to say that 75% to 89% of patients are satisfied after TKA. TKA is a highly cost-effective procedure for the management of end-stage knee osteoarthritis. There are several complications of TKA. Extensor mechanism rupture can occur in 0.17% to 2.5% of cases. Bleeding is a known side effect of TKA. Significant postoperative anemia warrants blood transfusion, and transfusion rates have varied from 2.5% to 35.3%. There are 2.6% of patients who have midsubstance damage or avulsion of the medial collateral ligament from the femoral and tibial attachment. The Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry has shown that 0.4% of primary TKA for osteoarthritis warrant a revision surgery at 5 years for instability. The coronal plane alignment of TKA is 90 degrees to mechanical axis alignment, with ± 3 degrees as tolerance for a predic
