| Popis: | Background Despite the established advantages of partial knee replacements (PKR), their usage remains limited. We investigated the effect of hospital knee arthroplasty (KA) volume and the availability of a frequently used PKR by the total KA supplier on the use of PKRs in a hospital. Methods A total of 190,204 total knee replacements (TKR) and 18,134 PKRs were identified in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) from 2007 to 2016. For each hospital we determined the annual absolute KA volume (TKR+PKR) into quartiles (292 knee replacements/year), and determined whether the TKR supplier provided a frequently used PKR. Hospitals were divided in routine PKR users (≥13 PKRs/year) or occasional/non PKR users ( |
