Aug 21, 2023: New Arthroplasty Register profile added

The Swedish Arthroplasty Register (SAR) is a National Quality Register. It is a merger of the two oldest national arthroplasty registers, the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register and the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register, including knee replacements since 1975, hip replacements since 1979, hemiarthroplasties since 2005, and knee osteotomies since 2013. Reoperations, revisions and other procedures, related to the knee or hip are registered, as well as patient-reported outcome(s).
