Summary
The perioperative care of the total hip-arthroplasty (THA) patient has undergone a significant evolution similar to advancements in the technical performance of the operative procedure itself. The concept of a rapid recovery protocol is the establishment of aggressive perioperative programmes with the distinct intention to speed recovery, reduce morbidity and complications, and create a programme of efficiency while maintaining the highest level of patient care. The establishment of a focused care plan will align short-term goals of THA with long-term goals which are to relieve pain, increase function, provide stability, and maintain durability.
