The relationship between surgeon case load and revision rates in total hip arthroplasty: Evidence from the Swiss National Joint Registry
A higher surgeon case load independently predicts a lower overall 2-year revision rate in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis in Switzerland. Implementation of a minimal case load has the potential to significantly reduce 2-year revision rates, at the cost of more patients needing to have their treatment reassigned.
