AI Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to evaluate the data comparability in joint replacement registries and enhance monitoring of surgeries.
- Reviews of six International Society of Arthroplasty Registries highlighted disparities in reporting types of procedures, especially between total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA).
- Consistent reporting of surgical outcomes and patient-reported measures is crucial for better data interpretation and monitoring safety trends in joint replacement surgeries.
Article Abstract
Aims: We aimed to assess the comparability of data in joint replacement registries and identify ways of improving the comparisons between registries and the overall monitoring of joint replacement surgery.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a review of registries that are full members of the International Society of Arthroplasty Registries with publicly available annual reports in English. Of the six registries which were included, we compared the reporting of: mean age, definitions for revision and re-operation, reasons for revision, the approach to analysing revisions, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA).
Results: Outcomes were infrequently reported for HRA compared with THA and all hip arthroplasties. Revisions were consistently defined, though re-operation was defined by one registry. Implant survival was most commonly reported as the cumulative incidence of revision using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Three registries reported patient reported outcome measures.
Conclusion: More consistency in the reporting of outcomes for specific types of procedures is needed to improve the interpretation of joint registry data and accurately monitor safety trends. As collecting additional details of surgical and patient-reported outcomes becomes increasingly important, the experience of established registries will be valuable in establishing consistency among registries while maintaining the quality of data.
Take Home Message: As the volume of joint replacements performed each year continues to increase, greater consistency in the reporting of surgical and patient-reported outcomes among joint replacement registries would improve the interpretation and comparability of these data to monitor outcomes accurately.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the learning curve of the ROSA® Knee System, the relationship between each phase of the learning curve and the accuracy of the robotic system in femoral component size and knee alignment prediction.
Methods: A single surgeon retrospective analysis of total operative time (TOT) and total robotic time was conducted.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) demonstrates favorable long-term data and has outpaced anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty as the most-performed shoulder arthroplasty procedure. As indications and outcomes continue to favor rTSA, patients may turn to the internet as an efficient modality to answer various questions or concerns. This study investigates online patient questions pertaining to rTSA and the quality of the websites providing information.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to analyse the most cited articles in shoulder arthroplasty surgery and identify trends in topics by decade.
Methods: Journal Citation Index Web of Science (WoS) was searched to find articles using the search terms "shoulder arthroplasty", "shoulder hemiarthroplasty", "shoulder replacement" and "shoulder prosthesis". All articles were ranked according to most cited overall and most cited between 2022 and 2023, and then further analysed to find the most cited articles per decade.
