Abstract
Most outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures are performed in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs). ASCs allow for efficiency, physician autonomy, and potential cost savings while HOPDs may still be ideal for surgeons who are initiating the outpatient TJA process, as well as for patients with risk factors that require a safety net in the event of a complication.
