Revision total knee replacement finances: a detailed cost-analysis of operative practice at a regional tertiary referral centre.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The revision knee complexity classification (RKCC) stratifies knee revision operations depending on their level of complexity from simple revisions (R1) to highly complex cases (R3). Current financial codes used for calculation of reimbursement for knee revision services provided at the Trust, rely on patients' comorbidities. However, previous research has demonstrated that this approach may not yield an accurate financial account of knee revision arthroplasty cost. This is a single centre study from a secondary and tertiary revision unit, with work previously presented by the authors demonstrating that the majority of complex revision knee replacement within the region, take place in this unit. The aims of this study were to illustrate the current cost profile and renum
