The procedure took a little more than an hour and the patient returned home after spending less than 10 hours in the hospital. Before this procedure, Dr. Haynes had performed several outpatient partial knee replacements.
“Now every patient considering a joint replacement is a good candidate for the outpatient procedure,” Dr. Haynes said in the release.
Dr. Haynes plans on performing the first outpatient total hip replacement surgery in late July.
