Abstract

Objective: To know about the predictive prevalence of hip and knee arthroplasty across Pakistan.

Methods: It is retrospective cross-sectional study with data collection from Pakistan National Joint Registry (PNJR) of number of hip and knee arthroplasty cases in seven years (2014-2021). Fourteen high volume centers across Pakistan who consented for data publication were included. Stata version 16 was used for data analysis. Mean & standard deviation was reported for quantitative variable & frequency and proportion were reported for qualitative variables.

Results: Our results showed a total of 9572 people had total knee replacement in last seven years from 2014-2021 with the rate of 9.57/100,000 population. Mean age of the patient was 61.7±8.95 with 69.5% patients being female and 30.5% being male. Our results showed a total of 2265 people had total hip replacement in last seven years from 2014-2021with the rate of 2.26/100,000 population. Mean age of the patient was 50.7±15.4 with 62% patients being male and 38% being female.

Conclusion: This is the first epidemiological study in Pakistan on the rates of hip and knee arthroplasty cases in Pakistan based on registry data, showing that more knee arthroplasty cases are being performed as compared to hip arthroplasty.
