Are there clear indicators/measures of the improvements in the effectiveness of orthopaedic treatment over the years?
Many countries now operate National Joint Registries, with Sweden for example having established one of the first. Data from these registries gives us a clear picture of the improvements that have been made and the areas where improvements are still required. Two of the best indicators are the revision rates for specific implants, giving orthopaedic surgeons an insight into which models perform best, and the length of hospital stay for orthopaedic procedures which facilitates assessment of the available surgical techniques and treatment protocols.
