ERAS programmes in orthopaedic surgery aim to reduce hospital stay and improve treatment quality, though widespread adoption is still pending.
May prompt targeted ERAS pilots in orthopaedics; leaves open barriers to routine adoption.
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a programme that aims to improve the care of elective surgical patients.
