In orthopaedic surgery, particularly total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the management of surgical wounds is critical for optimal wound healing and successful patient outcomes. Despite advances in surgical techniques, challenges persist in effectively managing surgical wounds to prevent complications and infections. This study aimed to identify and address the critical evidence gaps in wound management in TKA, including preoperative optimization, intraoperative options, and for the avoidance of postoperative complications. These are important issues surrounding wound management, which is essential for improving patient recovery and the overall success of the surgery.
