Disparities in Demographics in Hip Arthroplasty Between U.S. Active Duty Military and the ACS-NSQIP Clinical Registry

CONCLUSIONS: Patients in the MHS are undergoing THA at a younger age and are more likely to be male compared to the general population. A significant portion of primary THAs in the MHS are also being performed at civilian institutions. These demographics may result in increased risk of revision; however, long-term studies are warranted to evaluate survivorship in this unique population.PMID:38345083 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae029
