Are We Moving in the Right Direction? Demographic and Outcome Trends in Same-day Total Hip Arthroplasty From 2015 to 2020

CONCLUSION: More African Americans, older aged individuals, and patients with higher preexisting comorbidity burden enrolled in the program over this period. Our findings are a reflection of a more inclusive selection criterion for participation in the SDD THA program. These results highlight the potential increase in the number of patients and surgeons interested in SDD THA, which is paramount in the current incentivized and value-based healthcare environment.LEVEL EVIDENCE: III, Retrospective Review.PMID:38194641 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00762
