ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of the clinical pathway on hip arthroplasty. Methods Fifty patients with hip arthroplasty were selected. Twenty-three cases in the control group were treated with traditional methods, and 27 cases in the experimental group were applied with the clinical pathway for standardized treatment. Any differences in Harris scores, hospital costs and days in postoperative care at 1 week and 3 months were compared statistically between the two groups. Results Complications, hospital costs and average length of stay in postoperative care were significantly lower in the experimental group than among the controls. The Harris scores in postoperative week 1 were significantly higher in the experimental group than among the controls. Conclusion The clinical pathway using standard diagnosis and treatment can not only decrease hospital costs and average length of stay, it can also limit postoperative complications and quickly improve joint function, giving better quality medical care.
