Rapid recovery protocols (RRPs) for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) can reduce hospital length of stay (LOS) and improve patient care in select cohorts; however, there is limited literature regarding their utility in marginalized patient populations. This report aimed to evaluate the outcomes of an institutional RRP for TJA at a safety net hospital.
