Rankings are based solely on Medicare procedure volume and do not reflect quality of care, patient outcomes, or procedures covered by private insurance. The share of national volume this data covers differs by procedure: in 2024 it was approximately 25% to 33% of hip replacements, 23% to 28% of knee replacements, and 29% to 37% of shoulder replacements (how these shares are derived). Always consult with healthcare providers to make informed decisions about your care.
