Determination of the appropriate post-discharge disposition after total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty is a challenging multidisciplinary decision. Algorithms used to guide this decision have been administered both preoperatively and postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to simultaneously evaluate the predictive ability of 2 such tools-the preoperatively administered Predicting Location after Arthroplasty Nomogram (PLAN) and the postoperatively administered Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) "6-Clicks" basic mobility tools-in accurately determining discharge disposition after elective THA and TKA.
