Heart failure patients demonstrate excellent 1-year outcomes after total knee arthroplasty despite high healthcare utilization
Despite increased healthcare utilization, HF patients undergoing TKA achieve similar improvements in pain and functionality as non-HF patients. HF severity was not associated with differential healthcare utilization, suggesting that risk stratification based on HF severity may not be necessary. Level of evidence III.
