Is Partial Knee Replacement as Same-day Surgery Generalizable?
Fast-track/rapid recovery/Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs have proven both safe and effective in joint replacement surgery, to the degree where same-day surgery have been tested in selected cases. A transition of the minor partial knee replacement (PKR) procedure, compared with the alternative and more commonly used total knee replacement (TKR) for knee osteoarthritis, into a same-day regime seems reasonable. Especially as PKR is reported to have lower risk of short-term complications than does TKR. The aim of this study is to assess efficacy, patient satisfaction and safety outcome measures for PKR when using a same-day surgery protocol in a Swedish healthcare context where ERAS programs nowadays are considered common ground. With no preselection of patients, all PKR cases by one high-volume surgeon will chronologically be scheduled as the first morning case for one consecutive year, and thereby be included in the study. In order for discharge, strict post-surgery criteria will have to be met. The thesis is that the same-day surgery will be both feasible and safe.
