Background Fast-track concepts in arthroplasty are understood as programs to optimize and homogenize perioperative procedures. With few exceptions, the literature reports a reduction in hospitalization time, a decrease in mortality and complications, earlier mobilization, and increased patient satisfaction through fast-track programs. Implementation The implementation of a fast-track concept requires the involvement and motivation of the entire treatment team, as the implementation of only individual components of a fast-track program does not lead to the desired goal. Country-specific regulations must be taken into account when evaluating fast-track programs. In particular, long-term results are also lacking. Outlook For Germany, a scientific review is still pending. Modified perioperative measures but also a shortening of an inpatient stay must not reduce the currently existing high quality of care in arthroplasty. A possible reduction in the length of inpatient stay implies a compression, but not necessarily a reduction in the perioperative care required for a patient. For this reason, the surrounding conditions must also be created at a political level in the future to enable the achievement of the desired high quality.
