Message from the Chairman of RPA 

 
 
  An Arthroplasty Register constitutes a colossal multicentric prospective study that proposes the monitoring of implants from the moment they are applied until they are removed.

It represents a powerful research tool, producing a Level of Evidence IIa (prospective cohort study), surpassed only by randomized controlled, which are limited in themselves to small homogenous series.

It is a phenomenal legacy, which could be left to Portuguese Orthopaedics, and could be useful to all the future generations of orthopaedic surgeons to come.

The moment is opportune, the situation is favorable and the circumstances are maturing. We merely need to add Good Will and Hard Work.

We are counting on you.
