    Three high-volume arthroplasty surgeons independently rated each answer for accuracy, completeness, safety, and readability on 5-point scales.

  • 3

    The fast-track questions addressed early mobilization and discharge, multimodal analgesia, selective use of drains and urinary catheters, and postdischarge safety.

  • 4
