With appropriate education and preparation, 75% of unselected primary hip and knee arthroplasties achieved SDD to home without compromising risks of complications, re-operations, or revisions. A further 9% achieved SDD to rehabilitation centre, implying that 84% of patients did not require overnight stay. These findings suggest that ambulatory surgery is feasible and safe to implement in most unselected lower limb arthroplasties.
