High-volume day-case hip arthroplasty in a district general hospital
An arthroplasty day-case service was safely set up in a district general hospital without a previous orthopaedic unit. More than 80% of these patients were discharged on the same day of surgery. With the ever-increasing pressure, demand, and waiting lists for arthroplasty, this model could prove an important adjunct to existing services.
