Outpatient hip replacement, also called rapid-recovery hip replacement, ambulatory hip replacement, or same-day hip replacement, is a hip arthroplasty procedure in which the patient is free to go home on the same day. It is performed very rarely, and only in young patients with strong immune systems who can recover quickly on their own.
It is very beneficial as it reduces the risk of infection and promotes recovery as the patient can go home and recover in the comfort of their homes and return to their daily activities quicker. It is generally recommended for patients who do not smoke and do not have pre-existing medical conditions.
