Recent articles from the Lundbeck Foundation Centre for Fast-track Hip and Knee Replacement in Denmark

During our recent lecture tour of Australia we were fortunate to meet lots of people doing some great work in orthopaedics. One person who really impressed us was Joanne Kenny from Austin Health in Melbourne. During the course of our conversations I spoke to her about the current evidence-base in orthopaedic enhanced recovery and I mentioned the impressive research work being completed in Denmark at the Lundbeck Centre. I recently shared a list of useful references with Joanne from the centre which I have detailed below. It’s a great reading list for anyone involved in orthopaedic enhanced reocvery.
