Per Jolbäck, RN, PhD, and colleagues at Skaraborg Hospital in Sweden performed a retrospective study that analyzed 11,993 primary THA procedures between 2008 and 2016 at 10 hospitals in western Sweden. Researchers noted surgeon-related information, such as sex, annual volume and level of training, as well as patient-related information, such as age, sex and
