Abstract: | Overnight total hip arthroplasty is becoming common in our center. Despite all the patients are under the same protocol, which includes a funcional discharge criteria, not all the patients leave the hospital the day after the surgical procedure. We conducted a study evaluating a group of patients who stayed one night, compared to a matched pair regarding age, body mass index and sex. Group 1 mean age was 61.4 years-old (SD 9.3), Group 2 was 60.8 years-old (SD 9.6); 10 women and 20 men each group, BMI was 28.1 (SD 3.7) and 27.8 (SD 3.6) for Groups 1 and 2 respectively. Patients who stayed only 1 night after THA were found to have higher levels of preoperative hemoglobin, had uncommonly 2 or more major comorbidities, and the operation was predominantly performed by anterior approach. |
