TL;DR
It is indicated that surgeon volume is a significant predictor of better outcomes after total hip arthroplasty, and hospital volume was not significantly associated with any of the outcome variables examined.
Abstract
The present study indicates that surgeon volume is a significant predictor of better outcomes after total hip arthroplasty.

For many procedures, the observed associations between hospital volume and operative mortality are largely mediated by surgeon volume, and patients can often improve their chances of survival substantially, even at high-volume hospitals.

Patients treated at hospitals and by surgeons with higher annual caseloads of primary and revision total hip replacement had lower rates of mortality and of selected complications.

Widespread implementation of the 2003 Leapfrog standards for evidence-based referral could avert a large number of surgical deaths and would save at least 5 times more lives than those based on volume criteria alone.

Surgeon volume had a greater effect on patients than hospital volume for primary and revision joint arthroplasties, whereas hospital volume was more strongly related to outcome than surgeon volume for the other procedures examined.

Hospital and surgical volume and most other provider characteristics were not associated with walking and pain outcomes; however, follow-up pain scores for patients with cementless prostheses were lower for board-certified orthopaedists even after adjusting for risk factors.
