Dr. Joshua Rozell is a hip and knee replacement surgeon at NYU Langone with practices in Brooklyn and Manhattan. He specializes in anterior approach hip replacement, computer-navigated and robotic knee replacements, and outpatient joint replacement surgery. Many of the techniques he uses allow patients to recover more quickly and improve their function and strength after surgery. He did his undergraduate training at Emory University, went to medical school at Drexel University, and had his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Pennsylvania, along with a hip and knee replacement fellowship at the prestigious Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.
 
Dr. Manuel Wilfred is a physical therapist who provides care for joint replacement patients at NYU Langone-Brooklyn. He has worked with orthopedic patients both inpatient and outpatient throughout his 19 years in the profession. Prior to being at NYU Langone-Brooklyn, he received his bachelor's degree in physical therapy from India and then he left that country to study at University College London and work in the National Health Service's Middlesex Hospital. He has a doctor of physical therapy degree from the University of Montana and completed his PhD degree from Seton Hall University. 
 
In Part 1, we discussed: the effect of the COVID pandemic on performing hip and knee replacement surgery and providing post-operative care; typical hospital length of stay experienced by patients prior to implementing same-day discharge; number of these surgical procedures performed on a weekly basis; the proportion of these operations resulting in same day-discharge; kinds of factors used to identify patients who are excellent candidates for same-day discharge following hip and knee replacement surgery; factors indicating that certain patients should be excluded from participating in same-day discharge; and contents of a "playbook" used during the preoperative consultation phase.
