Description: Most joint-replacement surgeries are currently performed in community hospitals. We sought to determine whether the functional outcomes of joint replacement surgery differ between academic and community hospitals.Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the functional outcomes of joint-replacement surgery between academic and community hospitals. Further work will involve evaluating cost of care differences between these types of hospitals.
