Analysis of the Incidence of Knee Arthroscopy, Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), and Readmission Rates for TKA After Previous Knee Arthroscopy in the Queensland (QLD) Population
While the rates of TKA are on the rise, arthroscopies and their conversions to TKA are on the decrease. Possible explanations for the persistent drop in TKA conversion rates include better patient selection, more effective non-operative care, or longer wait times for the operation.
