Abstract
Historically, patients were usually hospitalized for several weeks after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which mainly consisted of a period of bed rest. (1)However, the length of hospital stay after TKA has decreased in the last decade through implementation of fast-track protocol.(2-6) Moreover, the quality of life after TKA with fast track improves substantially during the first 3 months after hospital discharge, compared to the quality of life of patients treated with a non-fast-track protocol.(7) Also, a decrease in the number of complications and re-admissions can be achieved with the fast track rehabilitation protocols.(8,9) The prevalence of manipulation under anesthesia for stiffness of the knee has been found to be lower or comparable with the use of fast-track protocols, compared to conventional pathways(4) and the risk of thromboembolic complications is reduced.(10) Fast-track protocols have proven to be safe for patients, including the elderly.(11)
