Knee replacement: epidemiology, outcomes, and trends in Southern California 17,080 replacements from 1995 through 2004

Abstract

The incidence of primary and revision TKA increased between 1995 and 2005. The rates of postoperative complications were low. Comparisons of the study population and the underlying general populations of interest indicate that this population can be used to predict the incidences and outcomes of TKA in the general population of California and of the United States as a whole.
