    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Healthcare management
    • Patient outcomes

    Background:

    • Joint arthroplasty necessitates effective post-discharge care protocols.
    • Transitional home care models aim to bridge the gap between hospital and home.
    • Optimizing patient recovery and minimizing readmissions are key goals.

    Observation:

    • Two distinct case studies highlight clinical consequences following early hospital discharge.
    • The impact of transitional home care on patient recovery was observed.
    • Both physical and psychosocial outcomes were monitored post-discharge.

    Findings:

    • Early discharge led to unforeseen clinical challenges in both cases.
    • The proposed transitional home care protocol requires further refinement.
