Feb 20, 2024: New Registry profile added from Sweden

In the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR), orthopaedic surgeons, residents or A&E (Accident & Emergency Department) doctors register data on all extremity, pelvic and spine fractures that have been diagnosed or treated at the affiliated departments. Both surgical and non-surgical treatments are registered, as well as subsequent treatments such as planned treatments or non-planned treatments as reoperations. More than 910,000 fractures are currently registered in the database.
