Does anyone have a good source on the time required to perform such procedures as TKR's, meniscus repairs, and other such ortho procedures? I have seen sites that state the time would be 1-2 hours, but that also includes time in the OR as anesthesia kicks in. I am looking for the time from the first incision to the end of the procedure (closing not necessarily included). Thank you.
