Arthroplasty Surgeons Do Not Improve Acute Outcomes for Patients With Hip Fracture Relative to Other Subspecialists.

This study showed that the acute outcomes used to assess the value of care for patients undergoing THA were not significantly different when the surgery was performed by an adult reconstruction specialist compared with other orthopedic surgeons at 2 high-volume academic centers with perioperative care pathways. Alternative modalities to significantly improve acute postoperative outcomes in a bundled reimbursement model must be investigated. [Orthopedics. 2020;43(x):xx-xx.].
