Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroplasty Procedures
  • Patient Recovery

Background:

  • Hospital stays for hip and knee arthroplasty are decreasing.
  • Short-stay protocols, initially for hip replacement, are now applied to knee replacement.
  • Advancements in pain management and early mobilization enable quicker patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and outline practical methods for facilitating rapid discharge after knee arthroplasty.
  • To provide surgeons with actionable strategies for same-day or next-day discharge.
  • To highlight the evolving trends in knee replacement patient care pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices in knee arthroplasty.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to reduced hospital length of stay.
  • Identification of key elements in care pathways for early mobilization and discharge.

Main Results:

  • Short-stay knee replacement is increasingly feasible and routinely performed.
  • Effective pain control and early mobilization are critical for rapid discharge.
  • Standardized care pathways and patient engagement enhance recovery and reduce hospital stay.

Conclusions:

  • Rapid discharge after knee arthroplasty is achievable through optimized pain management, early mobilization, and streamlined care.
  • Patient expectations and surgeon protocols are shifting towards shorter hospitalizations.
  • This review provides a practical guide for implementing rapid discharge protocols in knee replacement surgery.
