This year 2023-24, the NJR celebrates its 20th anniversary. It began capturing hip and knee data in 2003 across England and Wales, but has since expanded to incorporate ankle, elbow and shoulder joints and cover Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Guernsey. Representing a greater number of patients, the NJR now has around 3.7 million records and is the largest orthopaedic registry in the world.
