In this episode Registry Clinical Director Professor Paul Smith examines the findings of the Australian Orthopaedic Association's 2024 AOANJRR Annual Report, which also marks the 25th anniversary of the publication. Paul is joined by Deputy Registry Clinical Director Professor Chris Vertullo, Assistant Deputy Registry Clinical Director Dr David Gill, and Clinical Advisor Dr Peter Stavrou, who offer key insights across their respective specialities of knee, shoulder, and foot and ankle.

The clinical directors reflect on the findings of the 2024 Annual Report and analyse them within the wider context of the past 25 years of Registry Annual Reports and their expectations for the Registry's future reports. The results of advances in technology, techniques, and devices — including robot-assisted surgery and 3D printed prostheses — are now being reported, with their impact upon revision rates and wider implications expected to be reported over the next few years.
