Fast-track pathway for reduction of dislocated hip arthroplasty reduces surgical delay and length of stay

摘要

Background and purpose - Dislocation is one of the most common complications following hip arthroplasty. Delay until reduction leads to pain for the patient, and may increase the risk of complications. We investigated the safety aspect of a fast-track pathway for dislocated hip arthroplasties and evaluated its effect on surgical delay and length of stay (LOS).
