Knee Joint Replacement Protocol

I need a concise, evidence-based protocol that walks my operating team through a complete knee joint replacement. The emphasis is on the surgical procedure itself—from pre-op imaging and templating right through to skin closure and the first 48 hours of post-op care.

Please give me:
• A pre-operative checklist covering positioning, imaging, templating and sterility prep
• A step-by-step intra-operative workflow, including instrumentation sequence, implant alignment tips, cementing technique and infection-control notes
• Decision trees for valgus or varus deformities, osteoporosis and unexpected bone loss
• Immediate post-op pain-management guidance and early-rehab milestones
• Current AO/AAOS or peer-reviewed references for every clinical recommendation

Deliver the guide in Word or PDF, neatly formatted and, if possible, illustrated with diagrams or OR photos you already own the rights to use. Two short revision rounds are built in so we can fine-tune details quickly.

A background in orthopedic surgery, surgical nursing, or clinically focused medical writing is strongly preferred. Share one comparable sample so I can gauge your depth of technical insight before we start.
