National and regional orthopaedic registries are an important resource for addressing the growing safety and effectiveness concerns associated with orthopaedic implants worldwide. Unfortunately, even the largest single-country registries or large regional registries are not large or diverse enough to address the needs of a variety of stakeholders such as patients, clinicians, regulatory agencies, payers, and manufacturers. The International Consortium of Orthopaedic Registries (ICOR) is a robust initiative whose aim is to overcome the limitations of individual registries and create an infrastructure for multinational, multiregional evaluations of orthopaedic devices and procedures through a network of international registries1.
