This study is creating a database to collect information about people who have had hip or knee joint replacement surgery. The goal is to better understand how these surgeries work, what helps patients recover, and how different implants perform over time. Researchers will gather information from your medical records, including X-rays and details about your surgery, as well as your demographic information. You will also be asked to complete short surveys (Patient Reported Outcome Measures or PROMs) via email to track your progress. This information will help doctors and implant manufacturers improve future joint replacement treatments for patients like you. To join, you must have a clinical diagnosis of degenerative joint disease that requires a joint replacement.
