Benchmarking THA Implant Combinations Using Data From a US Total Joint Replacement Registry.

Abstract

Benchmarking is a surveillance methodology used to evaluate implants against predetermined standards at select time points after surgery. Receiving a benchmark indicates that an implant has acceptable revision-free survivorship based on a predefined set of standards. Assessing implant performance against benchmarks offers valuable insights for surgeons, industry, and regulatory bodies, and also serves as a foundation for future evidence-based research. We sought to apply the benchmarking standar
