Hot Topics in Orthopaedics: The Impact of Surgeon Variability on Patient Outcomes

In this episode, Marc and Mo discuss the important questions of (1) how surgeon-related factors affect patient outcomes (e.g., PROMs, length of stay, discharge disposition, 90-day readmission, etc.) and (2) how researchers should apply this information to the design of future trials.
