The removal of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from inpatient-only lists accelerated changes in orthopaedic surgical practices across the United States. This study aimed to (1) quantify the annual volume of inpatient/outpatient primary TKAs; (2) compare patient characteristics before/after the year 2018; and (3) compare annual trends in 30-day readmissions, 30-day complications, and healthcare utilization parameters for inpatient/outpatient TKAs.

The purpose of this study was to understand racial and ethnic disparities in hospital-based, Medicare-defined outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to determine the following: 1)Â whether there are differences in preoperative characteristics or postoperative outcomes in outpatient TKA between racial/ethnic groups and 2) trends in outpatient TKA volume, based on race/ethnicity.

Studies suggest that posterior hip precautions are unnecessary after total hip arthroplasty; however, many surgeons and patients choose to follow these precautions to some extent. In this study, we hypothesized that 20° of hip abduction would be sufficient to prevent impingement and dislocation in motions requiring hip flexion when using larger prosthetic heads (≥36 mm) when the acetabular implant is placed within a reasonable orientation (anteversion:15-25° and inclination: 40-60°).
