PURPOSE OF STUDY

We investigated the effect of weekend knee arthroplasty surgery on length of inpatient stay.

METHODS

341 consecutive patients undergoing primary total knee replacement were retrospectively identified. Of these 62 underwent surgery during the weekend. Length of inpatient stay, age, sex, pre-operative haemoglobin, ASA rating, and day of surgery were recorded. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effect of these preoperative factors on length of post-operative inpatient stay.
