This study represents the largest cohorts for matched patients with DS undergoing THA or TKA through 90 days postoperatively. For both procedures, DS patients were found to have greater risk of several adverse events, but not 2-year revisions. These findings may help guide perioperative risk assessment, patient/family counseling, and care pathways.
