Key Words Lower limb orthopedic surgery; Perioperative efficiency; Regional anesthesia; Postoperative recovery time; High efficiency pathway
Core Tip This study shows that adopting a high-efficiency approach for lower limb orthopedic surgery, by selecting appropriate patients, using standardized instruments, applying regional anesthesia, and bypassing phase one recovery, significantly shortens postoperative recovery time, reduces operating room duration, and decreases total hospital stay. This model provides a practical and scalable way to enhance perioperative care and tackle surgical backlogs in the face of ongoing constraints in healthcare resources.
