Published in 2003 by the Institute of Medicine, Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care placed an unprecedented spotlight on disparities in the U.S. health-care system. In the 2 decades since the publication of that landmark report, disparities continue to be prevalent and remain an important significant national concern. This article synthesizes the evolution, current state, and future of racial and ethnic disparities in the use of elective total joint replacement surgeries. We contextualize our impressions with respect to the recommendations of the Unequal Treatment Report.
