Background

Rapid mobilisation programs, or “fast track” protocols, are aimed at shorter hospital stays. We found a limited local experience with these programs in total hip arthroplasty in South Africa, and decided to introduce a pilot study at our institution.

Purpose

This pilot study is aimed at the feasibility and safety of a RM program in the private sector setting, as well as a review of the pertinent literature.
