An Economic Evaluation of Over 200,000 Revision Total Hip Arthroplasties: Is the Current Model Sustainable?

CONCLUSION: This study indicates substantial increases in charges and reimbursements over a 10-year period for patients undergoing rTHA. However, reimbursement increased at a lower rate than that of charges, resulting in major net losses. This study highlights the need to reevaluate the economic models behind rTHA for longer-term sustainment. PMID: 33137839 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
