Objective  To summarize the best evidence of preoperative prehabilitation for patients undergoing total joint replacement/total knee replacement (THA/TKA), and to provide reference for clinical work in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), in order to speed up the postoperative rehabilitation process of patients undergoing THA/TKA. Methods  Up To Date, BMJ Practice, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Cochrane Library, JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database, Guidelines International Network, www.guide.medlive.cn, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIPdata, and WanFang Data were searched by computer for literature about preoperative prehabilitation of THA/TKA patients. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to May 31, 2022. The quality of the included literature was evaluated by 2 researchers with evidence-based training. Results  A total of 11 publications were included, including 1 guideline, 3 expert consensuses, 3 systematic reviews, and 4 randomized controlled trials, covering 6 aspects of multidisciplinary team, patient education, drug management, nutritional guidance, index control, and exercise intervention. A total of 16 best evidences of preoperative prehabilitation in patients with THA/TKA were extracted, including 9 A-level recommendations and 7 B-level recommendations. Conclusions  THA/TKA prehabilitation includes various comprehensive interventions. With the development of ERAS in orthopaedics, the best evidence extracted can be used by clinical staff for THA/TKA. Evidence-based evidence is provided for patients to formulate prehabilitation programs.
