What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Mobilization
Time Frame: 24 hours
The measured postoperative time when patient can stand and able to walk one or more steps, with or without support
24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain Measurement, Verbal Numeric Rating Scale
Time Frame: 24 hours
Reported pain hourly on a 11-digit scale, called Verbal Numeric Rating Scale for pain, 0-10 where 0 is no pain, and 10 is worst thinkable pain. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
24 hours
Patient Satisfaction
Time Frame: 24 hours
Reported patient satisfaction on a 1-5 scale, (Likert scale), where 1 is Very dissatisfied, and 5 is Very satisfied. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
24 hours
