Monitoring joint replacement surgery (August 2019)

Summary

Thousands of people have joint replacement surgery every year and the National Joint Registry gathers together data on the outcomes of these surgeries. This allows surgeons and hospitals to monitor the success of their operations and ensure that the devices used are safe and effective. Individuals can also use the Registry to inform themselves better about the surgery which they are having.

This short video explains what data is used and, more importantly, how it is used to ensure best outcomes for patients.
