Brief summary

The primary aim of the Barwon Joint Replacement Registry is to monitor patients following joint replacement surgery that occurs at University Hospital Geelong and St John of God Hospital Geelong. All patients undergoing joint replacement are routinely seen in pre-operative clinics as part of surgical planning. An Orthopaedic Coordinator will discuss the Registry with eligible patients and assist them, as required, to complete the relevant pre-operative assessment forms. Post-operative follow-up procedures vary between Barwon Health and SJOG. At Barwon Health, study participants will be assessed in-person at University Hospital Geelong (UHG) 3-6 months following the operation. Participants will then be assessed via mail-out at 1 year, 5 years and 8 years post-op and then biennially thereafter. Participants with complications or suspected complications identified via mail-out will be invited to the UHG for in-person review. At SJOG, study participants will be assessed via mail-out at 12 months following the operation. Patients will also undergo clinical review with their surgeon at intervals decided by the surgeon, which is not considered part of the current study.
