Assessment of Team Dynamics and Operative Efficiency in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Surgical team communication is a critical component of operative efficiency. The factors underlying optimal communication, including team turnover, role composition, and mutual familiarity, remain underinvestigated in the operating room.

Objective

To assess staff turnover, trainee involvement, and surgeon staff preferences in terms of intraoperative efficiency.

Design, setting, and participants

Retrospective analysis of staff characteristics and operating times for all total joint arthroplasties was performed at a tertiary academic medical center by 5 surgeons from January 1 to December 31, 2018. Data were analyzed from May 1, 2021, to February 18, 2022. The study included cases with primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and primary total knee arthroplast
