2nd Transatlantic Leadership Forum - Is day case total knee replacement taking ERAS too far? | EBPOM Chicago

Apr 25, 2022

"Now we've declared it possible, is it the right thing to do?"

This timely discussion considers the wisdom of day case total knee replacement: What do the data say? Can we do this without the use of opioids? What is reasonable to consider as part of an enhanced recovery after surgery program? How do patients make an informed decision when this kind of surgery is in their possible future?
