Short-Term (90 Days) Clinical Outcomes Following the Day of Surgery Conversion of Inpatient to Same-Day Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

At our institution, the same-day conversion of planned inpatient hip and knee arthroplasty patients to outpatient surgery was safe and did not increase short-term clinical outcomes or complications.
