HSS Study Finds Infection Rates at a High-Volume Academic Orthopedic Center After Total Knee Arthroplasty are Low Regardless of Individual Surgeon Volume

A retrospective study by HSS investigators found that infection rates at a high-volume academic orthopedic center following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uniformly low regardless of individual surgeon volume. These findings challenge the long-held belief that a surgeon’s experience, not the institution’s, drives safety outcomes.
