Proposal for a South African sarcoma registry

Authors

Abstract

Clinical registries have become a normality in virtually all fields of medicine. Orthopaedics has in many ways led this development with early registries of knee and hip arthroplasties. The South African Orthopaedic Registry (SAOR) is an ambitious undertaking to register all orthopaedic procedures performed in South Africa and will provide valuable data for quality assessment, teaching and allocation of resources.1
