Summary

Fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established concept including optimized logistics and evidence-based treatment, focusing on minimizing surgical stress and improved post-operative recovery. The aim of this protocol is to compare the standard care and fast track total knee arthroplasties in terms of functional and subjective outcomes, hospital staying, number of transfusions and analgesic consumption.
