Quality Electronic Registration of Medical acts, Implants and Devices: Orthopedic Prosthesis Identification Data: Knee

The aim of this project is to make a registration system available to orthopedists that allows them to register information related to the placement of hip and knee prostheses in order to create a “Belgian register of joint replacements”. The purpose of this register consists of: a) collecting data to enable professionals to examine the quality of care during knee and hip prosthesis placement; b) providing information about the type of prostheses placed on a patient when he or she comes for a consultation, so that accessories can be appropriately ordered if necessary; and c) determining the lifespan of the prostheses. This project concerns the knee prostheses.
