Patients can click on this link and securely supply information on their condition and performance of their joints before and after surgery. This is for the purpose of the database to allow communication with the patient and to send secure links to the patient that allows them access to the database. Patients are asked to provide an email address if they have one at the time of listing for surgery. Ortech is a Canadian company that provides this database and meets all the necessary Canadian Security specifications to secure patients data. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) has made this a mandatory process in Canada. Wood has a similar database to collect the same information and submits this data to the Canadian Joint Registry. Links to those pages and information can be found in the Patient Resources section. This information is also available to patients and the annual published results are accessible through the web. This information can direct surgeons of what implants to use and when, and identify patient groups that do better with certain products. This allows surgeons to track complications and failure rates of most implants used. These registries are large databases that record every patient who has received a joint replacement. The orthopaedic community worldwide has realized the importance of arthroplasty databases, or Registries, and many countries such as the UK, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, New Zealand, and recently Canada, participate in such registries.
