Brief summary

The PROPELLER registry is a database that collects clinical data on patients undergoing orthopaedic treatment for musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. It aims to monitor short and long-term patient outcomes associated with surgery and non-surgical treatments using patient reported outcomes, radiological findings, and rates of complications or revisions. The registry will support observational studies to identify factors that are associated with treatment success in patients undergoing orthopaedic treatment. The findings from the PROPELLER registry will inform future hypotheses and clinical research, potentially leading to changes in healthcare practices, systems or policies within the field of orthopaedics. By comparing its findings with those of other groups, the registry hopes to contribute to a broader understanding of musculoskeletal disorders.

Interventions

This registry will monitor short and long-term patient outcomes associated with orthopaedic pathology using clinical data collected routinely as part of standard care, stored in an integrated and quality controlled database. In particular, the registry will objectively analyse assessments of function, patient reported outcomes (including pain, satisfaction, quality of life and return to activity), radiological findings and rates of complications or revisions across the various modes of treatmen

This registry will monitor short and long-term patient outcomes associated with orthopaedic pathology using clinical data collected routinely as part of standard care, stored in an integrated and quality controlled database. In particular, the registry will objectively analyse assessments of function, patient reported outcomes (including pain, satisfaction, quality of life and return to activity), radiological findings and rates of complications or revisions across the various modes of treatments implemented by the participating surgeons. Patient, pathology and management factors associated with treatment success or failure at a minimum of 6 months and up to 5 year follow up will be reported via an observational consecutive cohort study.
