Total hip arthroplasty is an end-stage treatment for hip diseases such as hip osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Traditional surgery models are still mostly used in China, and related day surgery models abroad have shown that day surgery for total hip arthroplasty is as safe and feasible as traditional pattern without increase in complications and readmission. It can also shorten the length of hospitalization for patients, reduce hospitalization costs, thereby speeding up bed turnover and increasing the utilization of medical resources. This article reviews the patient admission, perioperative management, anesthesia and surgical techniques, post-discharge rehabilitation and nursing care of patients undergoing day surgery for total hip arthroplasty, and aims to providea reference for the development of day surgery for total hip arthroplasty in China.
