From 2004 to 2020, the number of patients utilizing MA increased markedly such that 1 in 3 were covered by MA in 2020. From 2015 to 2020, patients who were non-White were more likely to have MA than TM, and the MA group had a higher rate of several postoperative complications compared with the TM group. As TM claims data inform health-care policy and clinical decisions, this change portends future challenges, including limitations in arthroplasty registry research, an increase in the administrative burden of surgeons, and a potential worsening of social disparities in health care.
