COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY REGISTERS (REVIEW)

Abstract

The rapid growth the number of joint replacements in the second half of the XX century required the creation of a system for monitoring the results of these operations. The most promising organizational structure that takes into account the number of performed surgeries and evaluates its results, is a national arthroplasty register. Followed by Sweden, where the first time the National Register of knee arthroplasty was created in 1975, many countries in Europe and North America began to develop own registers in the field of traumatology and orthopedics. By publishing annual reports and scientific papers, as well as through participation in national and international conferences, register distributes information to doctors, health care administrators, manufacturers and other interested bodies, allowing to track the results of arthroplasty at all levels, from the certain hospital to the international level. The authors of this review provide the analysis of the structure of existing registers of knee replacement and compare it with randomized clinical trials.
