Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the principles of orthopaedic elective surgery and some of the common surgical procedures. The patient pathway of pre‐, peri‐ and post‐operative care will be described and the implications for nursing care discussed. The evidence base for practice, including enhanced recovery programmes, will be explored so that the practitioner can ensure they are providing the optimum care for patients.
