Knee arthroplasty procedures are common surgeries in Australia. Physiotherapy is an integral component in the effective and cost-efficient management of patients following surgery. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) refers to patient-centered, evidence-based, multidisciplinary team developed pathways for a surgical specialty and facility culture to reduce the patient's surgical stress response, optimize their physiologic function, and facilitate recovery.
