Abstract

In the current economic climate there is increasing pressure to identify cost-saving measures across the NHS. Our recent work suggests that many centres are curtailing primary hip and knee arthroplasty follow-up services to deal with the growing pressure on their services. However, such disinvestment is without evidence-base and raises questions of the consequences to patients. This project will examine the requirements for arthroplasty follow-up and produce evidence and consensus-based recommendations as to how, when and on whom follow-up should be conducted
