How long does total knee replacement take in operating room?

TKA time: Remember it takes time to position, time for anesthesia, time for prep, time to "wake up", time to apply dressings, etc. The actual cutting time from skin to skin varies with the surgeon, but usually 40-60 minutes for that part.
