Incidence and timing of postoperative complications after total hip and knee arthroplasty
Our findings suggest follow-up contact 7-10 days after THA or TKA to minimize ED visits, with at least 1 subsequent in-person follow-up at 5-6 weeks after surgery. After that, surgeons may personalize additional follow-ups as needed.
