Research from the University of East Anglia has helped show that mortality rates in the first 90 days following hip replacement surgery have halved.
A team led by the University of Bristol in collaboration with UEA, Oxford and Exeter studied 409,000 patients who had hip replacements for osteoarthritis between 2003 and 2011.
They analysed data on death after hip replacement on behalf of the National Joint Registry for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (NJR). The results are published today in The Lancet.
