(12.6% vs 0%, P = .002). Furthermore, both groups had low
incidences of opioid-related complications based on specified drug usage (nausea 3.9% vs 1.4%, P = .221; constipation 1.0% vs 4.3%, P = .185; for control and LB groups,
respectively). No patient falls were recorded for either group
of patients.
Time in hours for each of the groups was evaluated for
surgery time, overall OR time, and PACU time, and time in
days was evaluated for total LOS. However the LB group
was found to have a significant decrease in LOS of 0.5 days
(2.5 vs 3.0 days, P = .010).

The LB group walked a further distance on the day of surgery (27.6 vs 12.5 feet, P = .001) and the first day after surgery (186.8 vs 155.2 feet, P = .039) than the control group.
However, no significant difference was found at the second
and third day after surgery (Figure 2). This likely reflects the
earlier discharge of the more physically capable patients.
The hospital total, direct, and indirect costs were compared between the 2 groups (Figure 3). Because of a decrease
in the cost of the prosthesis during the study period, the costs
associated with medical supplies were removed from the
cost analysis in order to capture any savings associated with
