An observational study in Total Elbow Replacement, sponsored by University of Manchester. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 16 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-14.
Sponsored by University of Manchester · Observational
This observational study aims to evaluate potential prognostic factors for TER failure . The National Joint Registry (NJR) currently contains the largest elbow registry dataset in the world, which has been shown to have high completeness and accuracy. In order to incorporate additional potential prognostic factors not captured in the NJR, this study will combine the NJR elbow dataset with the NHS England Hospital Episode Statistics-Admitted Patient Care (HES-APC) data. Understanding prognostic factors is a crucial step for informing the development of strategies aimed at minimising the risk of failure and the necessity for additional surgery, which poses a burden on patients and society.
University of Manchester is the lead sponsor of 194 studies on the registry; 43 are open to participants now.

Adult patients with a primary total elbow replacement in England on the National Joint Registry (NJR)
All patients aged 16 to 100 years old with a primary TER on the National Joint Registry (NJR) elbow dataset from the start of data collection on the 1st of April 2012 to the 31st of December 2023 will be included.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients are excluded if they did not consent for their data to be used for research purposes, if it is impossible to trace them after surgery, if their ID numbers are invalid, or if the surgery was not performed in England.
Unconfirmed procedures and procedures with inconsistent operative patterns (i.e. a sequence of operations where the primary operation is not the first operation in the sequence or where there are multiple primary operations recorded for the same joint) will be excluded from the analyses.
The hazard of failure of total elbow replacement
Indicated by the need for revision surgery recorded on the NJR. The NJR's definition of "revision surgery" will be used, which encompasses any operation involving the addition, removal, or modification of one or more components in a joint replacement. This includes debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) with modular exchange procedures.
Time frame: 11 years
Plan to share: No — The National Joint Registry (NJR) elbow data can be requested for research purposes through an application to the NJR research committee. Researchers do not have the rights to share the data directly
