Higher revision risk for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in low-volume hospitals

Abstract

We found a lower risk of revision in hospitals performing more than 40 procedures a year than in those with less than 10 UKAs a year, with an unadjusted RR of 0.53 (95% CI: 0.35-0.81) and adjusted RR of 0.59 (95% CI: 0.39-0.90). Low-volume hospitals appeared to have a higher risk of revision due to dislocation, instability, malalignment, and fracture than high-volume hospitals.
