Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA) results in high costs with inadequately low reimbursement in different healthcare systems. Therefore, a financial analysis was performed comparing costs and reimbursements of primary total knee arthroplasty (PTKA) versus RTKA using financial and total knee arthroplasty-register data from a large tertiary hospital, the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen (KSSG), Switzerland.
