Does patient–surgeon sex discordance impact adverse events following primary total hip arthroplasty?

Abstract

Introduction: The Editors’ Prespective: The question, “does patient–surgeon sex discordance impact adverse events following primary total hip arthroplasty?” is the topic of an article recently published in Acta Orthopaedica (1). It should be taken seriously as we want to understand how we achieve a good outcome with low numbers of adverse events. Whether the sex of the surgeon and the patient may have an impact must be discussed.
