- BACKGROUND: Stereotypes may prevail, but little is known about the influence that the sex of an orthopaedic surgeon may have on outcomes. In a recently published study, there were no differences in the rate of adverse events following total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed by female or male orthopaedic surgeons. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether there was any difference in adverse events within 90 days following a primary THA performed by either a male or female surgeon in Sweden.METHODS: A retrospective study was performed to evaluate primary THAs performed for osteoarthritis between 2008 and 2016 at 10 hospitals in western Sweden. Local hospital data were linked with the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) and with a regional patient register. Data collected from local hospitals and the SHAR included surgeon-related information (e.g., sex, annual volume, and level of training) and patient-related information (e.g., age, sex, and Elixhauser comorbidity index). Adverse events were retrieved from the regional patient register. The definition of adverse events followed the SHAR definition of adverse events. Mixed models were used to investigate the impact of surgeon sex on adverse events.RESULTS: A total of 11,993 primary THAs were performed by 200 surgeons, of whom 17.5% were women. The proportions of adverse events within 90 days were similar for female (6%) and male (7%) surgeons. No association was found between surgeon sex and adverse events (adjusted odds ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.52 to 1.00) when all surgeons (both attendings and residents) were included in the analysis. A sensitivity analysis that included attendings only yielded similar results (adjusted odds ratio, 0.88; 95% confidence interval, 0.60 to 1.29).CONCLUSIONS: Despite a small tendency toward lower rates of adverse events at 90 days after THAs performed by female surgeons, there was no significant association between surgeon sex and the risk of adverse events following THA.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level III .
