Romanian Arthroplasty Register was founded through the Ministry's of Health - National Public Health Program - called "Prevention in Orthopaedy and Traumatology".
The main purpose of the Register is to function as a surveillance tool in an early warning system of the deficient implants. The Register is functioning on non-concurential principles, meaning that the data for each hospital is not available to another hospital, and that the patients' data is classified.
All the orthopaedic clinics/departments must report their arthroplasty activity to the Romanian Arthroplasty Register (hip, knee and spine), according to the Ordinance 1591/1110/2010, art 24, pt b (click here to download the ordinance).
