Results from the International Consortium of Orthopaedic Registries: An Innovative Distributed Research Network for Global Post-Market Surveillance: Survivorship of Hip and Knee Implants in Pediatric and Young Adult Populations

摘要

Background:One of the least researched areas in orthopaedic pediatrics is the safety and effectiveness of joint replacement, in part because it is uncommon and is undertaken for a wide range of conditions not common for adult joint replacement. This study used data from the AOANJRR (Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry) to analyze the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the pediatric population and to provide preliminary data on the outcome of these procedures.
