Patient-reported outcomes of a short hospital stay after total knee replacement in a regional public hospital: a prospective cohort treated 2018-2019.

An enhanced recovery protocol after TKA in a regional hospital can achieve a median LoS of 2 days without compromising patient-reported outcomes and objective functional measures, whilst maintaining a high level of patient satisfaction with both the surgery and LoS. Further work is required to better optimize management of largely low-grade complications in this patient population.
