Core Tip	Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune condition. Orthopedic specialists often encounter patients with SLE presenting with various orthopedic conditions which require surgical intervention but due to the complexity of SLE and its associated treatment, pre-operative preparation and postoperative care for these patients are often challenging. Concerted effort of management and effective communication between orthopedic specialists and rheumatologists play an integral part in enhancing favorable outcome and reduction in postoperative complications for patients with SLE through thorough pre-operative evaluation, careful peri-operative monitoring and treatment, as well as judicious postoperative care.
