Standard recovery versus fast-track recovery after hip replacement surgery
Vergleich Der Komplikationsrate, Des Funktionellen Outcomes Und Der Lebensqualität Zwischen Standard Therapie Versus Fast Track Therapie Bei Patienten Und Patientinnen Nach Hüft-TEP Operationen
This project will test whether a fast-track recovery program helps adults after total hip replacement leave the hospital sooner while keeping similar function and quality of life compared with standard care.

What this trial studies
This is an observational comparison at the Technical University of Munich comparing patients managed with a fast-track (enhanced recovery) pathway to patients receiving standard postoperative care after total hip arthroplasty. The main goals are to shorten hospital length of stay (targeting a reduction from about 6 to 4 days) and to show non-inferior functional outcome using the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). The study collects multiple patient-reported outcome measures (EQ-5D-5L, HOOS, self-efficacy, enjoyment of movement, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing) and objective measures (TUG, ROM, strength, pain NRS). Outcomes and complications will be compared between groups to determine whether faster discharge and earlier mobilization can be achieved without worse function or higher complication rates.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults (age ≥18) scheduled for total hip arthroplasty at Klinikum rechts der Isar (TUM) who can give informed consent and speak sufficient German are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients who require only partial weight-bearing, are under guardianship or legally incapacitated, or cannot attend follow-up at the Munich site are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from the fast-track pathway.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the fast-track program could shorten hospital stays and speed recovery while maintaining function and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Enhanced recovery and fast-track programs for hip arthroplasty have been used widely and prior studies have commonly shown shorter hospital stays with comparable functional outcomes, so this work builds on existing evidence.
