Knee and hip osteoarthritis are highly prevalent in the older population. Management of
osteoarthritis-related pain includes conservative or surgical treatment. Although knee or hip …

Background and purpose—Essential for safe and timely hospital discharge, inpatient
functional recovery following lower limb arthroplasty is also variable. A previous systematic …

Objectives: compare an accelerated physiotherapeutic protocol to a conventional
physiotherapeutic protocol in total hip arthroplasty patients. Methods: a randomized double …

BACKGROUND: Hospital length of stay (LOS) is an important quality metric for total hip
arthroplasty. Accurately predicting LOS is important to expectantly manage bed utilization …

Objectives To identify predictors of length of stay (LOS) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in
an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program and evaluate the safety and cost …

Background Many studies have examined strategies to reduce length of stay (LOS) after
total hip arthroplasty (THA), but few have focused on modifiable patient-specific information …

Background Few studies had examined whether specific patient variables or performance
on functional testing can predict length of stay (LOS) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Such …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of conventional factors, the Risk
Assessment and Predictor Tool (RAPT) and performance-based functional tests as …

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative psychosocial factors on the
perceived and observed postoperative patient's functional recovery during the post-hospital …

Background The introduction of enhanced recovery pathways has demonstrated both
patient and organisational benefits. However, enhanced recovery pathways implemented for …
