*** (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. :heehee: ***

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!

Here is a link to the document: https://reports.njrcentre.org.uk/downloads

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.
 
The 2023 NJR report has just been published. They are now separating out the various types of knee replacement more-patellofemoral knee/ lateral/ medial and dual compartment.
My biggest issue is that the figures for revision surgery don't make it clear whether these operations are revisions of that surgeon's work or if the first operation was by a different surgeon.
It seems quite an important difference to me.
A surgeon could be doing lots of revision work either because he is an expert to whom other surgeons refer or because lots of his operations fail......
 
@EalingGran In general revisions are performed by specialists in revision surgery or in complex cases. So the revision numbers are (in most cases) revision of another surgeon's work.

We always advise our members to look for a specialist if a revision is needed.
