Details of joint replacement surgeries are being added to an orthopaedic register, health officials said.
They said Jersey had joined the National Joint Register, which looks at data on joint replacement surgeries to improve outcomes for patients.
It already has records of 4.5 million operations performed in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Guernsey, with an estimated 250,000 added each year.
Health and Care Jersey said it had joined the register to help “enhance orthopaedic care” for patients at home and benefit from research and innovation.
The register, which is said to be the largest in the world, aims to monitor the performance of joint implants and identify best practices.
Simon West, a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon and medical director for Health and Care Jersey, said the move showed “a clear commitment to the ongoing quality and safety of orthopaedic services”.
The National Joint Register has recorded and monitored joint replacement outcomes for more than 20 years.
Elaine Young, its director of operations, said they would be able to monitor and analyse the performance of implants and joint surgery performed at Jersey General Hospital.
