Wow! Even though I'm not in the UK, a LOT of this info will
be very valuable! Thank you for sharing this!

edited to add:
*** (from your link)---I love the analogy of "RCTs" being as necessary as deciding
whether or not to wear a parachute
when jumping out of a plane. ***

National Joint Registry
Now published: 2021 18th Annual Report: National Joint Registry for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man and the States of Guernsey. As the largest data collection of its kind in the world, the NJR has been described in UK Parliament as a global exemplar of an implantable medical devices registry.

Surgical data to 31 Dec 2020.
Careful it is 376 pages and weighs 2kg - I received mine by post!

Is there an organization equal to the NJR in the US?
I have not been able to find any information on the outcomes of surgeons, reputations, etc.
