Técnica de recuperación acelerada (fast-track) aplicada a cirugía protésica primaria de rodilla y cadera. Análisis de costos y complicaciones

There are few publications in the literature reviewed that analyse the cost implications of using fast-track recovery protocols in arthroplasty. Several published series comparing recovery protocols found no significant differences in complication rates either. The use of a fast-track recovery protocol resulted in a significant cost reduction of 1266 euros for the TKR group and 583 for the THR group, without affecting complication rates.
