Revision hip and knee arthroplasty projected to rise 36% by 2060

Using registry data from 17 countries and a uniform statistical modeling approach, researchers projected annual revision total hip and knee arthroplasty volumes through 2060. The primary model estimated the combined 17-country total would grow from 375,610 procedures in 2024 to roughly 510,860 by 2060, a 36% aggregate increase (31% for revision hip, 41% for revision knee), with the United States and China driving most absolute growth while several mature European systems plateau and Japan is projected to decline. The authors state these projections have implications for revision-fellowship training, infection-prevention programs, and registry infrastructure.

Most relevant for: Health systems and workforce planners involved in revision hip and knee arthroplasty capacity, training, and registry infrastructure.
