Updates on Evidence-Based Controversies for Outpatient Joint Arthroplasties

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Total joint arthroplasty in the outpatient setting is becoming more common and is a topic of notable debate and discussion in orthopaedic surgery. Rapid changes in technology, surgical techniques, and policies surrounding hip and knee arthroplasty surgeries are making successful same-day surgery possible. In response to these changes, this comprehensive review examines the most recent developments and controversies based on the published literature within the past five years. Critical issues surrounding outpatient joint arthroplasty include debates on surgical techniques, proper patient selection, anesthesia techniques, perioperative pain management, discharge readiness, and complications. Evolving consensus statements and guidelines emphasize the need for ongoing research and multidisciplinary cooperation to ensure the best outcomes and patient safety.
