Abstract
Our study establishes economies of scale in THA by demonstrating a direct relationship between volume and cost reduction. High-volume hospitals are performing the greatest proportion of THAs; however, low-volume surgeons perform the largest share of these cases, which highlights a potential area for enhanced value in the care of patients undergoing THA.
