Abstract:Operative time is a potential modifiable target for reducing cost and optimizing efficiency in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Shorter operative times are associated with decreased costs and complications. One proposed solution for reducing operating room (OR) times is to preferentially perform THAs at a higher volume center. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of different hospital settings on mean operative time in THA. A retrospective analysis of 7,694 consecutive primary and revision THA c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
