Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (NAR)

The Norwegian Arthroplasty Register collects data from all hospitals in Norway on all joint arthroplasties since 1987. The overall aim of the register is that all patients shall receive the best possible treatment, using results from the register to identify the performance of different types of prostheses and surgical methods used in Norway. The goal is to identify poorly performing implants and operation methods as early as possible, and to stop the use of these.
