The authors suggest a role for surgical societies in standardizing the collection and interpretation of complication data in orthopaedic surgery.
Orthopaedic surgeons need information about the complications they are likely to encounter. The literature on complications is difficult to interpret owing to a lack of agreed definitions, problems with collecting accurate data and with data interpretation. We suggest a role for the Royal College of Surgeons and specialist societies in collecting and interpreting complications data.
