abstract = {Currently, there is little data regarding a patient’s prior surgical history on postoperative outcomes following primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Literature has indicated that surgical timing affects postoperative outcomes, with wait times possibly affecting patient recovery, function, and quality of life. The aim of this study is two-fold: (I) to identify the optimal length of time to wait following a surgical procedure prior to performing primary TJA, and (II) to determine the relationship between the number of previous surgeries within the year of a TJA and its effect on postoperative outcomes.},
