Early mobilization after total hip or knee arthroplasty: a substudy of the POWER.2 study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early mobilization after surgery is a cornerstone of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs in total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our goal was to determine the time to mobilization after this surgery and the factors associated with early mobilization.

Methods

This was a predefined substudy of the POWER.2 study, a prospective cohort study conducted in patients undergoing THA and TKA at 131 Spanish hospitals. The primary outcome was the time until mobilization after surgery as well as determining those perioperative factors associated with early mobilization after surgery.

Results

A total of 6093 patients were included. The median time to achieve mobilization after the end of the surgery was 24.áhours [16.Çô30]. 4,222
