Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency may be a potentially modifiable risk factor in patients with orthopaedic conditions including Charcot arthropathy. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in patients with Charcot arthropathy.
Methods: All patients with Charcot arthropathy seen in our foot and ankle surgery clinic from January 2017 through June 2021 were screened for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
Outpatient Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Performed in a Safety Net Hospital System.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
September 2021
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the implementation of a rapid recovery protocol (RRP) for outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in a safety net hospital system.
- The research analyzed two groups of patients (overnight discharge vs. same-day discharge) and found that 86.9% of the same-day discharge cohort was able to leave the hospital on the day of surgery, significantly reducing average hospital stay by 17.7 hours.
- Overall, there were no significant differences in short-term adverse events or readmission rates between the two groups, indicating that outpatient TJA is safe to perform in such settings.
