Overview
Hip and knee joint replacement surgery has traditionally been an inpatient procedure at a hospital, requiring a few days of recovery. However, outpatient total joint replacement surgery is now becoming more popular as a minimally invasive alternative.
Benefits
Outpatient same-day total joint replacement surgery offers many benefits, including quicker recovery, the ability to return home on the same day of the procedure, reduced risk of infection, and lower costs. Furthermore, patients can comfortably recover in the safety of their home.
