Abstract Background During surgery, trauma to musculoskeletal tissue induces a systemic reaction known as the acute phase response (APR). When excessive or prolonged, the APR has been implicated as an underlying cause of surgical complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the typical...

When excessive or prolonged, the APR has been implicated as an underlying cause of surgical complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the typical APR following TJA in a healthy population defined by the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Methods This retrospective study identified 180 healthy patients (Charlson Comorbidity Index
