Standard recovery versus fast-track recovery after hip replacement surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
