N1 - Funding Information:
The JOANR was developed with the assistance of the Project for Developing a Database of Clinical Outcome approved by the Health Policy Bureau of the MHLW. The authors would like to thank Ms. Sayo Tatsui who conduct data cleansing and Mr. Sho Takeuchi, and Mr. Hiroaki Iijima who cooperate management of JOANR. The authors would also like to take this opportunity to express their deep gratitude to all JOA members and data managers who have cooperated with JOANR case registration.
Funding Information:
The JOANR database architecture has two levels, with the first dealing with basic items and the second the detailed items used in the specialist areas of partner medical associations. As of 2022, the vertically affiliated registries comprise: the Japan Arthroplasty Register (JAR, which is the forerunner of the JOANR) [ 9 ]; the Japan Orthopaedic Society of Knee Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine (JOSKAS) arthroscopic surgery registry (JOSKAS eNOTE) [ 13 ]; the Japanese Society for Spine Surgery and Related Research (JSSR) database (JSSR-DB); Ossification of the Spinal Ligament Case Registry operated by Ossification of the Spinal Ligament Research Team as a Research on Rare and Intractable Diseases funded by a Health and Labour Sciences Research Grant; and the Japanese Scoliosis Society Early-Onset Scoliosis Case Registry (this system is currently under development and its name has yet to be finalized). There is one horizontally affiliated registry, the Japanese Spinal Instrumentation Society (JSIS) Database (JSIS-DB) [ 14 , 15 ].

N2 - The Japanese Orthopaedic Association National Registry (JOANR) is Japan's first national registry of orthopaedic surgery, which has been developed after having been selected for the Project for Developing a Database of Clinical Outcome approved by the Health Policy Bureau of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Its architecture has two levels of registration, one being the basic items of surgical procedure, disease, information on surgeons, surgery-related information, and outcome, and the other being detailed items in the affiliated registries of partner medical associations. It has a number of features, including the facts that, because it handles medical data, which constitute special care-required personal information, data processing is conducted entirely in a cloud environment with the imposition of high-level data security measures; registration of the implant data required to assess implant performance has been automated via a bar code reader app; and the system structure enables flexible collaboration with the registries of partner associations. JOANR registration is a requirement for accreditation as a core institution or partner institution under the board certification system, and the total number of cases registered during the first year of operation (2020) was 899,421 registered by 2,247 institutions, providing real-world evidence concerning orthopaedic surgery.
