At the end of the XX and at the beginning of the XXI century the number of hip joint arthroplasty gained more than 1 million per year only for low friction hip prosthesis. To analyze all the structure of hip arthroplasty complications and to check revision arthroplasty the register of hip arthroplasty was introduced in Europe. In 1979 the Swedish scientist Peter Herberts initiated the first register in history of hip and knee arthroplasty. The arthroplasty register of scientific institute of travmatology and orthopedics of R.R. Vreden works as a local program of documentation and analysis. To create the national register of hip arthroplasty in Russia, financial, administrative and technological issues needs to get sufficient respect.
