There is a need for a total joint registry in the United States
August 6, 2008
New York Times July 29, 2008 A call for warning system on artificial joints | www.nytimes.com
The AAOS has established the need for a total joint registry however there are financial and legal hurdles that must be overcome. The value of total joint registries have been realized in Europe and Australia with a significant reduction in the revision rate of implants. A joint registry can provide an early warning system on issues or problems related to a particular implant design or surgical technique. With the rising cost of healthcare, a registry in the United States can be a cost effective use of our limited healthcare resources. If the data can be delivered to the orthopedic community in a timely and understandable fashion, it should and will influence the surgeon's behavior and decision making such that patients and society are benefited.
