Fast Track Protocol
hip replacement
Dr. Giacomi, in line with the most recent scientific evidence, applies a rigorous
fast track protocol to speed up the recovery of patients undergoing hip replacement with
anterior access. This protocol includes a series of pre-, intra- and post- measures
surgical procedures aimed at reducing pain, minimising complications and promoting recovery
quick and complete management of daily activities.
The advantages of Fast Track
A fundamental role is played by the multidisciplinary approach with the anesthesiology team, applied to the anterior access technique, which allows you to resume walking with the aid of Canadian sticks, just a few hours after the operation and regain full autonomy in much shorter times compared to other types of surgical access. For this reason, it is particularly requested and suitable for both elderly patients and especially athletes.
This protocol cannot be adopted on all patients but for 65% of them. It provides for early joint recovery, the use of non-intravenous drugs for pain control, a hospital stay of 48/72 hours. The rehabilitation process begins immediately after the surgery.
