Racial disparities in total knee replacement failure as related to poverty.
The authors sought to determine whether racial disparities in total knee replacement (TKR) failure are explained by poverty. Linking New York state patients to residential census tracts by geocoded addresses, they found that there was a trend toward higher TKR revision risk in blacks, but poverty did not modify the relationship between race and TKR revision or failure.
