Abstract

Background
At the end of 2014, we implemented an online video to inform patients of the entire process from admission to rehabilitation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of online video instruction in THA patients.
Methods
Electronic medical records of 184 patients undergoing THA in 2014 (pre-video group) and 182 patients in 2015 (post-video group) were reviewed. We compared 1) the time to start wheelchair ambulation, 2) walker or crutch ambulation, 3) the length of hospital stay, 4) postoperative satisfaction using visual analogue scale (0–10 points), and 5) modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) at postoperative 6 weeks.
Results
In the post-video group, the time to start wheelchair ambulation (1.8 ± 0.6 vs. 2.4 ± 3.2 days, P = 0.021) and walker/crutch ambulation were faster (2.9 ± 1.2 vs. 3.8 ± 1.0 days, P = 0.016), and the hospital stay was shorter (8.2 ± 4.7 vs. 9.9 ± 7.8 days, P = 0.001) compared to the pre-video group. The visual analogue scale for satisfaction (7.84 ± 1.62 vs. 7.68 ± 1.85 points) and mHHS (89.59 ± 9.47 vs. 89.58 ± 8.59) were similar.
Conclusion
Online video instruction is an effective tool to expedite ambulation and reduce the hospital stay without compromising the clinical outcome and postoperative complications after THA.
