Day case hip and knee replacement in England: a population-based cohort study using linked National Joint Registry and Hospital Episode Statistics data
Day case UKR appears safe. Day case THR is generally safe, and although there is a higher risk of readmission in the first six procedures at each unit, other safety outcomes are not different. However, day case TKR carries an increased risk of reoperation, mainly for MUA which is typically performed for postoperative stiffness.
