Routine preoperative laboratory testing before foot surgery is often unnecessary for healthy patients. Evidence suggests that targeted testing based on patient history and physical exam is more justified than universal screening.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatric Medicine
  • Clinical Laboratory Science

Background:

  • Preoperative laboratory testing is a common practice before elective foot surgery.
  • The necessity of routine testing for all patients, including healthy individuals, is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the available evidence on the utility of preoperative laboratory testing in podiatric surgery.
  • To provide recommendations for developing evidence-based preoperative testing protocols for podiatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on preoperative laboratory testing.
  • Analysis of the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of routine versus selective testing.

Main Results:

  • Evidence supporting routine preoperative laboratory testing for all podiatric surgery patients is limited.

  • Testing is most valuable when guided by specific patient history and physical examination findings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Routine preoperative laboratory testing for overtly healthy podiatric surgery patients is questionable.
    • Developing specific protocols can optimize testing, reduce costs, and improve patient care.
