The National Joint Register
The National Joint Register was established in 2005 to collect the data of patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery at the Hospital. The register was the first of its kind in Ireland. Led by Mr Patrick Kenny, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, the register has recorded details of more than 10,000 hip replacement surgeries since inception in 2005. The information it holds enables us to communicate with past patients, review their progress at regular intervals and determine the efficacy of the surgical technique and implant used. Moreover, should a device fail or cause complications in the future, we can consult the register to identify and contact the patients affected.
In 2018, the Irish National Orthopaedic Register was introduced to record national patient data for joint replacement surgery. The pre-existing joint register will continue to run concurrently for the foreseeable future due to the rich historical data that has been collected since 2005.
