Prevalence of Primary and Revision Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the United States From 1990 Through 2002

2005 Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery 1,252 citations

Abstract

The reported prevalence trends have important ramifications with regard to the number of joint replacements expected to be performed by orthopaedic surgeons in the future. Because the revision burden has been relatively constant over time, we can expect that a greater number of primary replacements will result in a greater number of revisions unless some limiting mechanism can be successfully implemented to reduce the future revision burden.
