The aim of this study was to use the Risk Assessment and Predictor Tool (RAPT) to evaluate the risk of complications in patients hospitalized after total knee replacement (TKR) surgery.
Patients with a RAPT score more than 9 have a low risk of complications. They should not systematically be admitted to a PM&R unit after surgery. On the other hand, for patients with a RAPT score less than 6 a hospital stay in a PM&R care center is justified after TKR surgery.
