Abstract

Same-day hip surgery needs to be clearly defined and clarified. There are two different segments defined as same-day surgery. The one is the same calendar day or 6 to 8 hours post-surgery discharge to home, and the second segment is where people leave the hospital within 24 hours post-surgery.
