2013 National Joint Registry
Hip, knee, ankle, elbow and shoulder joint replacements are common and highly successful operations that bring many patients relief from pain and improved mobility. Thousands of these joint replacement operations take place in the UK every year.
The National Joint Registry (NJR) was set up by the Department of Health and Welsh Government in 2002 to collect information on all hip, knee, ankle, elbow and shoulder replacement operations and to monitor the performance of joint replacement implants.
The 2013 National Joint Registry has been released. Data from more than 1.4 million procedures are now registered on the NJR, with 2012/13 the first year for reporting elbow and shoulder data and Patient Reported Outcomes Measures analysis. Read more here.
