Abstract

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is among the most commonly performed and successful of orthopedic procedures. Advances in perioperative care have enabled rapid recovery and stimulated interest in outpatient TJA. Proponents of outpatient TJA cite advantages to patients, reduced overall cost, and benefits to our healthcare system. However, the safety of outpatient TJA has been questioned. As the volume of outpatient TJA increases, it will be critical to develop evidence-based protocols that minimize risk to the patient, surgeon, and institution. This chapter describes how to mitigate risk through appropriate patient evaluation, optimization, and multidisciplinary care coordination.
