partial hip replacements?

Initially VICNISS intended to use the NHSN procedure category of HPRO which includes both total and partial hip replacements. However, feedback from participating hospitals has indicated that it would be preferable to separate total hip replacements from partial. This issue was also discussed by the VICNISS Technical Advisory Group. Consequently the data collection process has been altered to allow for the distinction between total and partial hip replacements.
