Our analysis highlights specific complications for which further interventions are necessary to reduce inequalities across races. These include medical optimization, increased patient education, and continued efforts at understanding how social factors may impact-related care inequalities. Future study is needed to evaluate specific interventions that can be applied at the health systems level to ensure all patients undergoing THA receive the highest quality of care regardless of race.
