Analysis of the relationship between surgeon procedure volume and complications after total knee arthroplasty using a propensity-matched cohort study
Objectives This study aimed to identify a threshold in annual surgeon volume associated with increased risk of revision (for any cause) and deep infection requiring surgery following primary elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Design A propensity score matched cohort study.Setting Ontario, Canada...
