Healio reported that Black patients had higher risk of aseptic and septic revision total knee arthroplasty when compared with white patients. Researchers analyzed data from more than 720,000 patients who underwent TKA in California, New York and Florida between 2004 and 2014. The results, originally published in the JAMA Network, “showed a significantly higher risk of aseptic revision total knee replacement and, to a lesser extent, septic revision TKR among Black patients compared with white patients.”  Read the full story here.
