Joint Replacement Surgery is a CLINICAL INTERVENTION.

There are two types of Joint Replacement Surgery referred to in the National Joint Registry Data Set:

• Primary Joint Replacement Surgery

This uses Implants made from metal, high density polyethylene or ceramic to replace a diseased or worn out joint and

• Revision Joint Replacement Surgery

This involves removing Implants that were inserted during Primary Joint Replacement Surgery, and usually involves replacing them with new Implants.
