ABSTRACT
Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease state with multiple associated comorbidities. Perioperative evaluation of the rheumatoid patient from a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to achieve favorable outcomes. A complete history and physical, laboratory, cervical, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and medication assessment before surgery should be performed. Educating the patient on potential complications, such as wound dehiscence, infection, and venous thromboembolism, as well as general postoperative expectations, is essential when evaluating the rheumatoid patient for surgery.
