[Day-case outpatient endoprosthetics-"Ultra-Fast-Track"].

Abstract

Fast-track procedures are common in general surgery today. In our European neighbour countries and in the USA, one-day-surgery for knee and hip replacement is gaining popularity. However, it is of great importance that adetailed concept for prehabilitation with asufficient training program and targeted instructions regarding behavioral measures are established to allow asafe outpatient procedure. Where fast-track programs are established, one-day surgery with minimally invasive operative procedures for hip and knee arthroplasty is the consequent next step.
