What does the guide say about orthopaedic care?
Hip and knee replacements, as well as hip fractures, are a major expense for the NHS. The guide analyses some key indicators of the quality of care in these cases: • The percentage of patients readmitted to hospital within 28 days of a hip or knee replacement Most hospitals performed as expected. However, for hip replacements, two trusts had high rates: Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (75% above average) and Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (63% above average). Two trusts had low rates: Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust (67% below average) and Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust (35% below average). • The number of patients requiring revision of a knee or hip replacement Hip replacement revision rates varied from 0 to 3.5 %. For knees, rates varied from 0 to 2.1%. Sixteen trusts performed particularly well on this indicator, while three had high rates. • Standardised mortality ratio for hip fractures Hip fractures are the most common reason for orthopaedi
