Zusammenfassung: | Informed consent is the process by which a medical provider explains the benefits, risks, and alternatives to a proposed medical intervention. It is a crucial part of maintaining patient autonomy and is particularly important in the context of elective surgical procedures, such as joint arthroplasty.
