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...
5,628 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.
