Core Tip

Core Tip: Hip joint diseases are frequent in the older population. The prevalence rate is high, and its damage to the health and life of the older individuals poses a substantial burden. Here, we analyzed the effect of continuous care on rehabilitation after discharge of older patients undergoing joint replacement. Using the Harris score, short form 36 score, complication rate, and readmission rate as observational indicators, we proposed the effectiveness of extended continuous care in the rehabilitation after discharge of older patients who have undergone joint replacement, which is a breakthrough in the efficacy and rehabilitation of older patients undergoing joint replacement.
