Abstract

Socioeconomic status (SES) influences surgical outcomes across many surgical specialties. Much of the literature examining the relationship between SES and orthopaedic surgery outcomes is focused on joint arthroplasties. The following study is a new exploratory study using the Area of Deprivation Index (ADI) as a proxy for SES in orthopaedic trauma. The ADI includes 17 different metrics to assess disadvantages at the neighborhood level based on 9-digit zip codes.
