Abstract

A continual increase in the prevalence of osteoarthritis drives growing demand for total joint arthroplasty. So far, a decrease in length of stay has been the target for health professionals globally. However, a consensus pathway of achieving this has not yet been reached. This article reviews recent advances in pre-operative and perioperative factors impacting length of stay.
