States sorted by number of TKR performed.
States where proportion of LVH discharges was > 10% emboldened and proportion of patients that did not drive-by a high volume hospital > 70% emboldened.
States where nearest high volume hospital median travel distance or the median additional travel distance is greater than 50 miles is emboldened.
