Résumé
Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being performed in the outpatient setting. However, there is little known regarding the differences in same-day discharge (SDD) rates and complications of operative approach in same-day total hip arthroplasty in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) setting. A retrospective chart review was performed between July 2019 and October 2021 for all patients who underwent primary THA in a single freestanding ASC. Successful SDDs, surgical approaches, lengths of surgery, estimated blood losses (EBL), complications, and readmission events were recorded for each patient. Complications were compared using Pearson Chi-Squares, while EBL and surgery lengths were compared with 1-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) (alpha = 0.5). There were 17 total complications in 326 total hip arthroplasties (5.2%), including direct admissions to the emergency department, 30-day and 90-day readmissions, wound complications, instability, infection, and revision surgery. Among all complications, there were 5 direct admissions, making the successful SDD rate 98.5%. Complications and direct admissions were not associated with approach. The 30-day readmission rates were associated with approach, with no readmissions in the direct anterior approach (DAA) or the antero-lateral approach (AL) cohorts and 3 (4.3%) in the posterior approach (PA) cohort. In the ASC setting, patients undergoing THA regardless of approach showed no difference in successful SDDs or complications aside from 30-day readmissions. Same-day THA can be safely performed in the DAA, AL, and PA to the hip.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being performed in the outpatient setting. However, there is little known regarding the differences in same-day discharge (SDD) rates and complications of operative approach in same-day total hip arthroplasty in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) setting.
METHODS
METHODS
A retrospective chart review was performed between July 2019 and October 2021 for all patients who underwent primary THA in a single freestanding ASC. Successful SDDs, surgical approaches, lengths of surgery, estimated blood losses (EBL), complications, and readmission events were recorded for each patient. Complications were compared using Pearson Chi-Squares, while EBL and surgery lengths were compared with 1-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) (alpha = 0.5). There were 17 total complications in 326 total hip arthroplasties (5.2%), including direct admissions to the emergency department, 30-day and 90-day readmissions, wound complications, instability, infection, and revision surgery. Among all complications, there were 5 direct admissions, making the successful SDD rate 98.5%.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Complications and direct admissions were not associated with approach. The 30-day readmission rates were associated with approach, with no readmissions in the direct anterior approach (DAA) or the antero-lateral approach (AL) cohorts and 3 (4.3%) in the posterior approach (PA) cohort.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
In the ASC setting, patients undergoing THA regardless of approach showed no difference in successful SDDs or complications aside from 30-day readmissions. Same-day THA can be safely performed in the DAA, AL, and PA to the hip.
