Description

Introduction

• Understanding the impact of situational variables on surgical recovery can improve outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA).

• Literature examining hospital outcomes by season remains inconclusive, with limited focus on patient experience.

• The aim of this study was to investigate if there were differences in hospital and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMS) after THA depending on the season in an area with 4 distinct seasons.
