Muffly SA, An Q, Bedard NA, et al. - This study was attempted to define 30-day emergency department (ED) visits following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Between 2013 and 2017, researchers examined 4,061 primary unilateral total hip and knee arthroplasty cases performed at the hospital. Presentation to the institution’s ED within 30 days of surgery was the primary outcome. Index admission variables associated with early ED visits were distinguished by applying one-to-three propensity score-matched analysis. The study included 253 recorded ED visits within 30 days of TJA (218 cases, 5.4%). The study found that emergency department visits within 30 days of TJA were common (5.4%). It has been reported that most visits related to the index procedure were due to surgical limb pain, wound concerns, and swelling. As per the findings, these complaints accounted for a minority of readmissions and reoperations. The data demonstrate that perioperative strategies addressing common postoperative concerns are needed to mitigate acute care use after TJA.
