Hip

The Swedish Total Hip Replacement Register was initiated in 1979. The mission of the Register is to improve the outcome of total hip replacement (THR) 1. Information technology development has substantially facilitated the possibility of fulfilling this mission. During the past three years, almost all information exchange between the reporting units and the Register has been provided via the Internet. Feedback to and reports from the participating units are effected through a specific website (www.jru.orthop.gu.se).
