Soft tissue management is critical to successful perioperative management of total joint arthroplasty patients. Patient medical and surgical history can significantly complicate the soft tissue envelope of a patient undergoing primary or revision arthroplasty. Here we present 2 cases demonstrating the use of Laser-Assisted Indocyanine Green Angiography in evaluating tissue perfusion perioperatively. The information obtained with Laser-Assisted Indocyanine Green Angiography serves as a valuable clinical adjunct for surgeon decision making for total joint arthroplasty soft tissue coverage. This report demonstrates the clinical value of this underutilized tool, in an effort to highlight its effectiveness and potential uses for arthroplasty surgeons.
软组织管理对于全关节置换患者的围手术期成功管理至关重要。患者的内科和外科病史会显著增加初次或翻修关节置换患者软组织包膜的复杂性。在此，我们展示2例病例，说明激光辅助吲哚菁绿血管造影术在围手术期评估组织灌注中的应用。通过激光辅助吲哚菁绿血管造影术获得的信息可作为外科医生在全关节置换软组织覆盖决策中的宝贵临床辅助手段。本报告展示了这一未得到充分利用的工具的临床价值，旨在突出其对外科关节置换医生的有效性和潜在用途。
