Sponsored Smith & Nephew
Originally presented at 30th AAHKS Annual Meeting.

The number of total joints performed in the US is expected to double between 2016 and 2026 to almost 2,000,000 joints per year. By 2026, it is anticipated that 50% of primary hip and knee joint replacements will be performed in hospital and 50% in the ASC. As the number performed increases and postoperative care moves to the outpatient setting, it is vital that protocols are implemented to protect the surgeon’s work. This session will focus on postoperative incision management techniques aimed at reducing surgical site complications. Best-practice strategies for protocol implementation will be covered highlighting the human and economic impact of reduced complications.
