An Evaluation of the Safety and Effectiveness of Total Hip Arthroplasty as an Outpatient Procedure: A Matched-Cohort Analysis

When comparing the 2 groups, there were no differences in adverse events at 90 days. At our center, in the appropriate patient population, outpatient THA is a safe and cost-effective option. A potential barrier to mobility postoperatively and successful same-day discharge is the time required to stay in postanesthetic care unit postoperatively, which was significantly correlated with an increased dose of spinal anesthetic given in our outpatient cohort.
