Our systematic review confirmed previous studies' reports of increased operative time for THA cases with trainee involvement. However, based on the overall similar complication rates and functional hip scores obtained, patients should be reassured concerning the relative safety of trainee involvement in THA. Future prospective studies with higher levels of evidence are still needed to reinforce the existing evidence.
