With increasing emphasis on value-based payment models for primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA), there is greater need for orthopaedic surgeons and hospitals to better understand the actual costs and resource use of TJA. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is a methodology for accurate cost estimation, but its application in the TJA care pathway across institutions/regions has not yet been analyzed.
