Day-case success rates after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) may vary, and detailed data are needed on causes of not being discharged. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between surgical procedure type and successful day-case surgery, and to analyze causes of not being discharged on the day of surgery when eligible and scheduled for day-case THA, TKA, and mUKA. A multicentre, prospective consecutive cohort study was carried out from September 2022 to August 2023. Patients were screened for day-case eligibility using well defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and discharged when fulfilling predetermined discharge criteria. Day-case eligible patients were scheduled for surgery with intended start of surgery before 1.00 pm.Aims
Methods
The purpose of this study was to assess early physical function
after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), and the correlation
between patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance
and actual physical activity (measured by actigraphy). A total of 80 patients aged 55 to 80 years undergoing THA or
TKA for osteoarthritis were included in this prospective cohort
study. The main outcome measure was change in patient reported hip
or knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS/KOOS) from
pre-operatively until post-operative day 13 (THA) or 20 (TKA). Secondary measures
were correlations to objectively assessed change in physical performance
(paced-walk, chair-stand, stair-climb tests) at day 14 (THA) or
21 (TKA) and actual physical activity (actigraphy) measured at day
12 and 13 (THA) or 19 and 20 (TKA). Aims
