DOI: 10.1007/s43390-021-00362-y
Abstract: PURPOSE Accelerated postoperative discharge (AD) pathways have demonstrated numerous benefits for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis undergoing PSF. Although early evidence supports the application of AD pathways over more traditional discharge (TD) approaches for patients… read more here.
