Abstrakt: We report on acquisition of key data from the clinical medical record, surgical data, radiologic studies, and patient surveys for a novel digital total hip arthroplasty (THA) registry that includes electronic capture of digital radiographic images into a database on an internet platform for query. We now have the ability to collect demographic and operative data, including the operative note, discharge summary, surgery data, and Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine (DICOM) radiology images. Steps are being completed to assemble office encounters, hospital procedural codes, and implant bar codes. Two examples include a THA surgery record and a THA outcome study with plain radiograph set. Analysis of such data could suggest ways to improve clinical practice.
