The AAOS family of registries includes the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR); the Fracture & Trauma Registry (FTR); the Musculoskeletal Tumor Registry (MsTR); the Shoulder & Elbow Registry (SER); and the American Spine Registry (ASR), a collaborative effort between the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and AAOS. With more than 4.5 million procedures across five registries, the AAOS Registry Program has grown significantly and continues to publish and present its findings around the world.
There will be a wealth of opportunities for attendees to engage with AAOS Registry Program data and learn about participation at the Annual Meeting. Five posters will be on display and seven paper presentations will be held that analyze AJRR and SER data.

Focus group
A unique opportunity for attendees this year is a focus group that will be held in collaboration with Cohere Health. The focus group will address streamlining orthopaedic care through the prior authorization program that Cohere launched in partnership with AJRR. Surgeons from all specialties were selected to participate in sharing experiences and providing feedback to improve the prior authorization program.
