DALLAS — The American Joint Replacement Registry, which is the official registry of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, includes data about infection and revision procedures for dislocation and instability of hips for the first time in 2019. In addition, in terms of primary total knee arthroplasty, which the report noted constituted 55.1% of all total joint arthroplasty procedures performed from 2012 to 208, the report included further analyses of cemented vs. cementless fixation.

The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) annual report was released in conjunction with the first day of the AAHKS Annual Meeting and includes findings from 1,525,435 hip and knee arthroplasty procedures performed between 2012 and 2018, according to a press release.
