Abstract

Length of stay has been decreasing after total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA) in Denmark during recent years, and patients regain functional capacity faster - and it is therefore of importance to reevaluate the sick-leave period and recommendations given. The factors potentially influencing recovalescence are limited to pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, postoperative nausea and vomiting and sleep disturbances. This article evaluates these changes and gives recommendations with regard to sick leave and restrictions after operation.
