Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
After total joint replacement, early hospital discharge to home (with patients capable of continuing a home-based rehabilitation program) is a cost- effective management strategy. This project will use improved local anesthetic nerve block techniques to enhance technical capability and clinical practice by (i) reducing pain and other morbidities during recovery, (ii) improving weight-bearing achievement during in-hospital physical therapy to allow for earlier return home, and (iii) continued rehabilitation as an outpatient at home when feasible (versus in an extended care facility).
