Abstract: The prevalence of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is believed to range from 0.5 to 1.0% in the general population worldwide [1]. A small group of patients would require surgical management and these patients can be challenging. These is a cohort of patients requiring significant consideration before undertaking surgical treatment as they have a higher risk of complications during the peri operative period including surgical site wound infection (SSI) and delayed wound healing (DWH) [2].
