Core Tip	Enhanced recovery pathways for hip and knee arthroplasty help the patient and the multidisciplinary team to achieve the best possible results. Based on the results presented, it may help health care providers to make informed decisions regarding the optimization of currently used regular pathways. We strongly recommend orthopedic surgeons worldwide to keep up-to-date with the latest literature and to optimize their regular pathway with the latest evidence. This study involves an extensive literature search for care pathways for hip and knee arthroplasty, and the effects on multiple outcomes have been analyzed in terms of (serious) adverse events, readmissions, length of hospital stay, functional recovery, patient reported outcome measures, and costs.
