Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose: The reduction of hip and knee arthroplasty surgical volume has been reported in many countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. In China, there is no national joint registry system and the impact of COVID-19 towards surgical volume remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the hip and knee arthroplasty surgical volume in China during the pandemic and evaluate its change trends. Methods: Annual sale numbers of prostheses used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA), and femoral head replacement (FHR) from 2011 to 2021 was collected from providers registered in National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). Annual surgical volume of TKA, THA, FHR, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and revision of hip/knee arthroplasty (RJA) was collected from member hospitals of Beijing Joint Society (BJS). We used linear regression to estimate the loss of surgical volume. Annual surgical volume obtained from Britain and Australian joint registries were used to make comparison. Results: In China, the surgical volume of THA/FHR, TKA, and UKA in 2020 all decreased compared to the predicted value, with a reduction of 82,525 cases (13.46%), 165,178 cases (33.50%), and 151 cases (0.65%), respectively. All the three procedures showed significant recovery in 2021. The surgical volumes of THA/FHR and UKA were 68,813 and 9402 cases higher than predicted levels, respectively, while TKA volume remained slightly below the predicted level. The regional statistics in Beijing showed similar change mode. In 2020, the surgical volume of THA/FHR, TKA, FHR, and UKA all decreased compared to the predicted value, with a reduction of 5031 cases (43.37%), 5290 cases (40.69%), 620 cases (29.18%), and 925 cases (39.11%), respectively. In 2021, with the exception of FHR, the number of these procedures increased compared to 2020, but remained below the predicted value. Compared with the data from Britain and Australia, China experienced less reduction and faster recovery in the proportions of elderly people (> 65 years old) who undergo hip and knee arthroplasty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, although hip and knee arthroplasty surgical volume in China showed a similar “restoration-recovery” change pattern with other countries, China took fewer losses in this field.
