Multicomponent prehabilitation and perioperative care in older persons with frailty referred to planned orthopaedic surgery: A feasibility study

The proposed adaptations will inform the implementation strategy prior to conducting an RCT to evaluate effects on clinical outcomes and healthcare costs.
