Fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established concept including optimized logistics and evidence-based treatment, focusing on minimizing surgical stress and improved post-operative recovery. The aim of this protocol is to compare the standard care and fast track total knee arthroplasties in terms of functional and subjective outcomes, hospital staying, number of transfusions and analgesic consumption.
The aim of this protocol is to compare standard care and fast track total knee arthroplasties. The fast track care consists of:
The standard care consists of usual antalgic and physiotherapy post-operative care:

| fast track care protocol | Procedure | fast track care consists in educational preoperative preparation for patients, particular strategies for controlling pain and bleeding and intensive early rehabilitation protocol. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Early functional outcomes | Early functional outcomes are collecting using Lowa Level of Assistance(ILOA) during the third post-operative day. This scale is able to provide data on the autonomy reached by the patient in the first postoperative period going to investigate five main motor activities (get up from supine to seated, from sitting to standing position, walk around, take three steps, the speed of walking). the total score can vary from 0 to 50, where 50 indicates better functional results. | Third post operative day |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| hospital staying | The collection of hospital stay for each patient. The fast track expecting hospital stay is three days. | Third day after surgery |
| Incidence of early major complications | The collection of acute infection and early fracture |

| Knee Society Score (KSS) at 6 weeks | The collection of functional outcomes score KSS at 6 weeks. The Knee Society Score (KSS) is mixed outcome measure that's both objective (physician input) and subjective (patient input). A score between 80 and 100 is considered excellent, between 70 and 79 is considered good, between 60 and 69 is considered fair and below 60 is considered poor. | 6 weeks after surgery |
| Knee Society Score (KSS) at third month | The collection of functional outcomes score KSS at third month. The Knee Society Score (KSS) is mixed outcome measure that's both objective (physician input) and subjective (patient input). A score between 80 and 100 is considered excellent, between 70 and 79 is considered good, between 60 and 69 is considered fair and below 60 is considered poor. | third month after surgery |
| Knee Society Score (KSS) at sixth month | The collection of functional outcomes score KSS at sixth month. The Knee Society Score (KSS) is mixed outcome measure that's both objective (physician input) and subjective (patient input). A score between 80 and 100 is considered excellent, between 70 and 79 is considered good, between 60 and 69 is considered fair and below 60 is considered poor. | sixth month after surgery |
| Knee Society Score (KSS) at twelfth month | The collection of functional outcomes score KSS at twelfth month. The Knee Society Score (KSS) is mixed outcome measure that's both objective (physician input) and subjective (patient input). A score between 80 and 100 is considered excellent, between 70 and 79 is considered good, between 60 and 69 is considered fair and below 60 is considered poor. | twelfth month after surgery |
| Oxford Score (OS) at 6 weeks | The collection of functional outcomes score OS at 6 weeks. The Oxford Score is a 12-item patient-reported outcomes (PRO) specifically designed and developed to assess function and pain after total knee replacement surgery. Each question is scored from 0 to 4 (0 being the worst outcome and 4 being the best). The overall score is the sum of all items and can range from 0 to 48, with higher scores corresponding to better outcomes. | 6 weeks after surgery |
