Abstract
The development of total hip and knee arthroplasty are regarded as amongst the most significant advances in orthopaedic surgery of the last century. Primary hip and knee arthroplasty are major surgical procedures associated with significant potential perioperative morbidity. Anaesthesia can play a significant role in reducing perioperative morbidity.Keywords
