Postoperative delirium is a serious and common (20% to 60%) complication in orthopedic surgery patients. In this study we investigate whether prophylactic administration of olanzapine can prevent delirium from occurring after knee or hip replacement in high-risk patients > 65 years of age. This is a randomized, double-blind, single center, placebo-controlled study.
