!Scope. The APTA guideline covers primary total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis only. Revision arthroplasty, unicompartmental arthroplasty, and knee replacement performed for any other indication are explicitly out of scope. For a patient coming to knee replacement with inflammatory arthritis, these recommendations are extrapolation rather than guideline-supported care.
