This information display shows overall characteristics for first-time knee replacement patients treated by this surgeon between 1 April 2003 and 31 March 2023. Against each characteristic you will be able to see whether this surgeon has been responsible for a greater or fewer number of patients of a particular type. This surgeon is represented on the chart by the black marker ().
The types of patients a surgeon treats can explain variation in patient outcomes after surgery. Please click on the “How to interpret this chart” button for further information.

What does this mean?
This shows 90-day mortality following knee surgery for this surgeon, based on the type of patients this surgeon has seen.
The surgeon you are reviewing is highlighted as an orange triangle. Progression along the horizontal axis (x axis) means that the surgeon has done more cases and/or cases at a higher mortality risk such as older patients. Progression along the vertical axis (y axis) means the surgeon has had more deaths.
The vertical axis figures are presented as a standardised mortality ratio. This means the values do not represent percentages of patients who have died, but they represent the proportion of deaths compared to the national average. The data is also risk adjusted to take account of the fact that different surgeons may operate on more higher-risk or lower-risk patients e.g. because of demographics in the patient population they work with.
The overall 90-day mortality rate following primary knee replacement surgery is approximately 0.21%.
