Total Joint Replacement Data Registries
With the number of total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) and associated costs growing annually, a new emphasis on improving the ‘‘value’’ of TJA has emerged. To achieve this goal, surgeons must continue to improve functional and pain-related outcomes after TJA, while reducing the numbers of postoperative complications and poor clinical results. Institutional and private practice registries have been developed to assist in in this pursuit. These registries have collected a wide spectrum of data points from basic Level I to IV data.
