Overview

• Preoperative opioid education shows some indication of favourable outcomes following elective hand surgery, though the number of studies were small, evidence quality was poor, and data were limited [1].
• A formal preoperative educational program can help to lower a patient's length of stay following hip or knee arthroplasty [2].
• Enhanced office and staff protocols that are proactive rather than reactive can provide a safe and successful outpatient experience by anticipating potential postoperative pitfalls associated with same-day discharge [3].
• Patients' preoperative expectations of their recovery from total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be modified by preoperative educational classes [4].
• Maximizing opportunities to improve communication, learning from others, and treating patients as more than their radiographic findings can help improve patient outcomes and trust [5].
• Underserved patients' knowledge about total joint arthroplasty increased only modestly after taking a preoperative class during a surgical mission trip [6].
• A pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility and satisfaction of the PREPS program for individuals undergoing a shoulder replacement [7].
• Preoperative counseling with haptic 3D hip models does not appear to favorably affect patient-reported understanding or satisfaction with regard to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) when compared with the use of CT imaging alone [8].
