Abstract
The method by which surgeons conduct outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures has yet to be fully standardized. Careful examination of components involved in the preoperative phase of outpatient hip arthroplasty procedures may lead to improved outcomes. This article will discuss methods for implementing successful outpatient THA protocols. Specifically it reviews information regarding patient selection criteria, preoperative education, and preoperative medical optimization.
