Oct 20, 2025: The Norwegian Arthroplasty Register Now on B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA®

We are happy to announce a new addition to the B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA® platform: a comprehensive description of The Norwegian Arthroplasty Register. Established in 1987, this vital register plays a crucial role in monitoring the quality of joint replacements, helping to detect problematic prostheses and surgical procedures early.
