The incidence of THR increased 73 percent from 2000 to 2009: 123 percent for patients ages 45 to 64 and 54 percent for ages 65 to 84. The number of revision total knee replacement (RTKR) procedures increased 133 percent, and the number of revision total hip replacement (RTHR) procedures by 27 percent.
