Hip Replacement in a High Volume Community Hospital: Effect on Length of Stay and Hospital Cost

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Hip Osteoarthritis

In brief

The investigators propose to evaluate and compare the percentage of patients who are able to be discharged in less than 3 days after undergoing total hip arthroscopy through either a direct anterior or posterior approach, utilizing the identical post operative protocol. The investigators also propose to evaluate the costs associated with the two different approaches to hip replacement in the same group of patients. Post operative resource utilization, discharge disposition, and pain medicine requirement will also be evaluated.
