Factors Affecting Discharge Disposition After Primary Simultaneous Bilateral Joint Arthroplasty

ConclusionThese findings shed light on the variables that contribute to discharge destination after PSBTHA and PSBTKA. Such information allows for safe pre-operative discharge planning and assists with discharge to the appropriate level of patient care. Future studies might investigate the effect of surgeon experience, surgical technique, and pre-operative discussion with a physical therapist on the discharge disposition of patients undergoing bilateral total joint arthroplasty.
