Patients with a high comorbidity burden (HCB) can achieve similar improvements in quality of life compared with low-risk patients, but greater morbidity may deter surgeons from operating on these patients. Whether surgeon volume influences total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes in HCB patients has not been investigated. This study aimed to compare complication rates and implant survivorship in HCB patients operated on by high-volume (HV) and non-HV THA surgeons.

高风险患者是否应该寻求大手术量的外科医生的护理？

与低风险患者相比，高合并症负担（HCB）患者的生活质量可以得到类似的改善，但更高的发病率可能会阻止外科医生对这些患者进行手术。外科医生数量是否影响 HCB 患者的全髋关节置换术 (THA) 结局尚未得到研究。本研究旨在比较由高手术量 (HV) 和非 HV THA 外科医生进行手术的 HCB 患者的并发症发生率和种植体存活率。
