Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement
Abstract
THE indications for and benefits and limitations of modern total hip replacement have been well defined by the years of experience since the first operation in 1962.1 The operation, which is by far the most successful surgery for patients with advanced osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the hip, is now performed an estimated 120,000 times a year in North America.Total hip replacement, in contrast to other major hip surgery, including hip fusion, osteotomy, and cup arthroplasty, is an entirely biomechanical rather than biologic solution to severe arthritis of the hip. The femoral head and part of the femoral neck . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
