About this trial
The Endoprosthesis Registry Heidelberg (EPR-HD) is a clinical registry designed to systematically collect and analyze data from patients undergoing primary implantation or revision surgery of artificial hip and knee joints. The main objective of the registry is to evaluate long-term outcomes, complication rates, implant survival, and functional results associated with joint replacement procedures in patients with various hip and knee joint pathologies.
By gathering comprehensive clinical data, EPR-HD aims to improve the understanding of patient outcomes after endoprosthetic procedures, identify potential factors influencing implant success, and support evidence-based improvements in surgical techniques and patient care. The registry includes adult patients treated at Heidelberg University Hospital, with data collected at multiple time points during routine clinical follow-up. This registry will contribute to the optimization of joint replacement strategies and promote high-quality patient care.

Time frame
Preoperative, 1 year, 3 years, and every 5 yearsSecondary outcomes

Knee Society Score
The Knee Society Score (KSS) provides a 0 to 100 score measuring function, pain, and range of motion in the knee before and after surgery. A score of 0 indicates the worst outcome, while a score of 100 indicates the best outcome.
Time frame
preoperative, 1 year, 3 years and every 5 years2
Forgotten Joint Score
The Forgotten Joint Score assesses how aware the patient is of their joint in everyday life. A score of 0 is the worst (always aware) while a score of 100 is the best (the patient is so comfortable, they forget that the joint was replaced).
Time frame
preoperative, 1 year, 3 years and every 5 years3
Oxford Knee/Hip Score
The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) provides a 0 to 48 score measuring function, pain, and range of motion in the knee before and after surgery. A score of 0 indicates the worst outcome, while a score of 48 indicates the best outcome
Time frame
preoperative, 1 year, 3 years and every 5 years4
Harris Hip
This survey assesses pain, deformity, and range of motion of the hip. A score of 0 indicates the worst outcome and 100 indicates the best.
