Outpatient Versus Inpatient Total Joint Arthroplasty: Do Medically and Socially Complex Patients Require More Resources but Achieve Similar Outcomes? by Justin Leal, BS, Christine J. Wu, MD, Niall H. Cochrane, MD, Thorsten M. Seyler, MD, PhD, William A. Jiranek, MD, Samuel S. Wellman, MD, Michael P. Bolognesi, MD, Sean P. Ryan, MD

“…Patients in the inpatient total hip arthroplasty group had a higher proportion of patients requiring an emergency department visit (13.0% vs 4.6%; P = .035) and admission (7.3% vs 1.0%; P = .018) within the first 90 days after surgery compared to the outpatient group; however, there was no difference in 2-year revision-free survival (96.4% vs 99.5%; P = .059). Conclusions: Medically and socially complex patients undergoing TJA required additional resources during the 90-day postoperative window; however, they achieved similar survivorship as patients who met criteria for outpatient surgery.…”
