The American Joint Replacement Registry now includes 119 hospitals nationwide and more than 34,000 total joint replacement procedures.
AJRR estimates a 90 percent data capture rate.
"Orthopedic surgeons need a continuous feedback process to understand what's working best with respect to our total joint replacement patients," said AJRR Chairman William J. Maloney, MD, in a news release. "With the development and expansion of the AJRR, the entire orthopedic community will benefit from the quality improvement information being disseminated. We have seen tremendous growth in the past year. We expect even greater hospital participation in 2013 and look forward to producing our first annual report this fall."
