Comparison of outpatient versus inpatient total hip and knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis of complications

Outpatient TJA had comparable total complication rates to inpatient TJA. Along with that outpatient TJA can significantly reduce costs to healthcare systems but careful pre-operative patient selection is required to optimize outcomes. More quality randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up periods are needed to add to this body of evidence.
