Joint Replacement Surgery is a CLINICAL INTERVENTION.
Joint Replacement Surgery is surgery to replace a damaged joint with an artificial joint.
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
- Revision Joint Replacement Surgery
- This involves removing Implants that were inserted during Primary Joint Replacement Surgery, and usually involves replacing them with new Implants.
