Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Michigan, 1500 East Medical Center Drive, 2912 Taubman Center, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.
Background: Surgical quality improvement has received increasing attention in recent years, but it is not clear where orthopaedic surgeons should focus their efforts for the greatest impact on perioperative safety and quality. We sought to guide these efforts by prioritizing orthopaedic procedures according to those that generate the greatest number of adverse events.
Methods: We used data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) to identify all patients who had undergone an orthopaedic surgical procedure between 2005 and 2007 (n = 7970).
