The PRULO registry is the clinical registry for a collaborative group of upper limb orthopaedic surgeons consulting privately out of Geelong Orthopaedics, Victoria. This registry currently collects clinical history, treatment characteristics, and functional and patient-reported outcomes from patients undergoing treatment for upper limb conditions including osteoarthritis of the shoulder, and rotator cuff tear. As the participants progress through the treatment pathway, their outcomes are assessed against pre-determined ‘failure to cure’ criteria, consisting of a combination of validated outcome measures and clinically relevant improvement thresholds (eg. minimum clinically important differences). The overall aim of the registry is to evaluate the current standard of care, and to inform evidence-based changes in clinical practice.
