Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of case management model in patients with hip joint replacement. Methods:116 patients with hip joint replacement were divided into the observation group and the control group(58 cases in each group)according to the odd and even number on admission. In the observation group,the case management group provided holistic and continuous nursing care for the pa-tients since they had been admitted and after they were discharged from hospital;the patients in the control group received the routine nurs-ing care. The prosthesis dislocation,deep venous thrombosis,pain control,Harris hip score and patient satisfaction with nursing service were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results:No prosthesis dislocation and deep vein thrombosis occurred in the patients of the observation group;the pain control,Harris hip score and patient satisfaction with nursing service were significantly better and higher in the observation group than the control group(P﹤0. 05). Conclusion:The case management can reduce the postoperative complications in pa-tients with hip joint replacement,it can also effectively control pain and improve the Harris hip score and patient satisfaction with nursing service.
