When hospitals and surgeons actively utilize the knowledge gained from the data – it is the patients who benefit the most.
Number of hip and knee replacement procedures tracked:
200000 and counting...
10,101 Surgeons
50 States Represented
Hip and knee implants account for more than 85% of the joint reconstruction and replacement market.
More than 7 million Americans have had a knee or hip replacement surgery.
Joint registries demonstrate up to a 50% reduction in revision rates after registry initiation and identification of best practices.
If U.S. revision rates were cut by just 2%, Medicare could save more than $65 million.

The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), part of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ (AAOS) registries portfolio, has conducted a novel (unpublished) study analyzing the correlation between hospital size, the reason for revision (or re-do) surgery, and where total joint arthroplasty (TJA) revision surgery is performed.
“AJRR has taken on a monumental task, and I believe they even surprise themselves when it comes to how successful they have been. It speaks to a well-conceived plan that is being effectively executed.”
