National Joint Registry Annual Report 2025

Published: 04 Nov 2025

The National Joint Registry (NJR), hosted by HQIP, has published its 22nd Annual Report, which covers the period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. Available online, via the NJR website, it contains full analysis of hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle joints (with individual sections for each joint also available), and shows a continued reduction in joint revision surgery; evidence that implants are lasting longer, and that outcomes for patients have improved year-on-year.

Having collected data since April 2003, with the purpose of improving patient outcomes following surgery, the Registry has now recorded over 4.5 million procedures. As a result of the increasing volume and quality of data, it is possible to make more accurate analysis available, acting as both a safeguard and a springboard, protecting patients today and shaping the orthopaedic care of tomorrow. As such, the NJR has been described as “the jewel in the crown of patient safety initiatives” by then National Medical Director of NHS England, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, and as a “global exemplar of an implantable medical device registry” by Baroness Cumberlege.
