Knee registries

Journal of ISAKOS Joint Disorders & Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, vol. 7, pp. 87–89

Abstract

The first ever national patient registry was established in Norway in 1856 for the disease leprosy [1]. This formed part of a programme to control a disease which at that time was a major health problem not just in Norway but throughout the world. Whilst other disease specific registries followed, it was over a century before we saw a registry for a specific medical device-knee joint replacement.
