Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients presenting with pathologies of the knee or hip and referred to specialist orthopaedic review and undergoing a Total Knee Replacement, Unicompartmental Knee Replacement or Total Hip Replacement.

1. Patients diagnosed with knee arthritis of any aetiology: Treated total knee arthroplasty or unicomparmental knee arthroplasty. Followed for a duration of 5 years.

2. Patients diagnosed with hip arthritis of any aetiology: Treated total hip arthroplasty. Followed for a duration of 5 years.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304356 0
The incidence of patients that are deemed a "failure to cure" following definitive treatment, with failure to cure being considered if there is any of the following:
- Insufficient improvement in patient reported outcome measures (function or pain) when measured against minimally clinical important difference for the PROMs identified in secondary outcomes;
- Adverse findings on post-treatment medical imaging, as identified by radiologist and reported to the surgeon;
- Positive signs of instability, weakness or other primary pathology during clinical follow-up, measured by surgeon interpretation of ML stability and AP stability; or
- Failure to improve knee or hip range of motion, fixed flexion, extension lag and flexion contracture measured using a goniometer.
Timepoint [1] 304356 0
3months, 12months, 2years and 5years after clinical diagnosis within the specialist orthopaedic practice or following definitive treatment, depending on the specific pathology.
Secondary outcome [1] 341716 0
Rate of healing as determined using clinical imaging - radiographs (XR), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or ultrasound (US), appropriate to the diagnosis
Timepoint [1] 341716 0
pre-treatment, 6weeks, 3months, 12months, 2years and 5years after clinical diagnosis within the specialist orthopaedic practice or following definitive treatment, depending on the diagnosis.
Secondary outcome [2] 341717 0
Joint range of motion assessed by goniometry
Timepoint [2] 341717 0
pre-treatment, 6weeks, 3months, 12months, 2years and 5years after clinical diagnosis within the specialist orthopaedic practice or following definitive treatment, depending on the diagnosis.
Secondary outcome [3] 341718 0
Complications and adverse events: any deviation from the ideal postoperative course that is not inherent in the procedure and does not comprise a failure to cure. E.g. surgical site infection as per the criteria described in Parvizi et al 2011 (CORR, 469). Assessed by surgeon interpretation and recorded via direct data entry into the research database. Secondary assessment via medical records and AOA reports if available.

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size calculation; This clinical quality registry has been designed to capture >80% of patients presenting to the participating clinic as per the inclusion criteria to provide adequate internal validity of the results and generalisability to patients presenting to a private clinic in a major city of Australia.

The registry will routinely report data quality with respect to the core dataset. This will incorporate data completeness, consistency and validity. Registry primary and secondary outcomes will be reported annually.

Analyses relevant to each patient cohort will be pre-planned specific to the prospective questions identified for each.
