In addition to implementing a series of measures in the hospital, enhanced recovery after surgery also needs to balance pre-hospital rehabilitation and post-hospital continuation management for patients. In order to optimize the patient management process of hip and knee arthroplasty, the orthopedic team of West China Hospital of Sichuan University has developed a comprehensive management plan for patients undergoing artificial hip and knee arthroplasty based on the latest domestic and foreign literature and previous practice. This article introduces the program from the definition of whole process management, as well as the pre-hospital, in-hospital, and post-hospital management of patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty, and aims to provide experience and reference for future clinical practice.
