Surgeon Training and Revision Rates After Patellofemoral Arthroplasty
In this cohort study using a target trial emulation approach to assess the association of surgeon training with PFA outcomes, the cumulative 6-year revision rate for PFA was lower for knees operated on by PFA-trained knee surgeons, suggesting that such surgeon training was associated with a better outcome. This suggests that the level of training may be an important confounder for registry-based comparisons of implant outcome, and that this confounder may even obscure inherent implant outcomes.
