Abstract

Session presented on Friday, September 26, 2014:

The purpose of this pilot project was to implement postoperative education in a select population of elderly patients undergoing THR or TKR in combination with the pre-operative education which was standard of care at the site. The goal was to provide study participants with the tools and knowledge to efficiently and safely self-manage their post-operative pain. The primary endpoints were to improve self-efficacy over the course of the intervention period and to decrease pain in the population.
