Core Tip	Season of the year when a total hip arthroplasty is performed may affect 90-d post-operative outcomes in certain regions of the United States. Furthermore, there appears to be a difference of the effect of seasonal variation on the outcomes as superficial infections have different patterns compared to deep peri-prosthetic joint infection.
