Core Tip Following total joint arthroplasty, often patients are non-compliant with the surgeon requested follow-up protocol. This study aims to determine if there is a functional difference between patients who actively follow-up in office and those who are non-compliant with the visit protocol. Based on our results, patient compliance to routine follow-up visits at 12-24 mo post-operation does not lead to better patient-reported functional outcomes than those who are non-compliant. Additionally, older women are more likely to be compliant in adhering to surgeon post-operative follow-up instructions.
