Association of type 2 diabetes with reoperation, adverse events and mortality after hip and knee replacement: a Swedish register-based study including 109 938 hip and 80 897 knee replacements.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are globally prevalent chronic diseases that affect millions of individuals in ageing populations.
