Data presented in this report are for both the public and private hospital sector and have been obtained from State and Territory Health Departments for specific ICD-10-AM codes relating to hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle and spinal disc replacement. The AOANJRR, in collaboration with service provider SAHMRI, has curated and produced this report. Responsibility for data accuracy and collection remains with the jurisdictional departments of health. Data for each state are presented individually with the exception of data for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Northern Territory (NT) which have been combined. Wrist replacement procedures for South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA) have also been combined due to small numbers. This report provides information on joint replacement for the financial year 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023. It also includes long term data from as early as 1994/95 which provides a national perspective on the changing rates of hip and knee replacement since that time. This Report is one of 14 supplementary reports to complete the AOANJRR Annual Report for 2024. Information on the background, purpose, aims, benefits and governance of the Registry can be found in the Introductory chapter of the 2024 Hip, Knee and Shoulder Arthroplasty Annual Report. The Registry data quality processes including data collection, validation and outcomes assessment, are provided in detail in the Data Quality section of the introductory chapter of the 2024 Hip, Knee and Shoulder Arthroplasty Annual Report: https://aoanjrr.sahmri.com/annual-reports-2024.
