Complication rates are not higher after outpatient compared to inpatient fast-track total hip arthroplasty: a propensity-matched prospective comparative study.

Purpose: Concerns remain with regards to safety of fast-track (FT) and especially outpatient procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare complication rates and clinical outcomes of propensity-matched patients who received FT total hip arthroplasty (THA) in outpatient versus inpatient settings. The hypothesis was that 90-day postoperative complication rates of outpatient FT THA would not be higher than after inpatient FT THA.

Long Term Outcomes after Arthroscopic Management of Tibial Plateau Fractures.

Objectives: Tibial plateau fractures are efficiently treated using arthroscopy when limited to one condyle. Operative technique and early results are now well documented. However, long term results have not been widely reported.
