Landelijke Registratie Orthopedische Interventies (LROI)

What Landelijke Registratie Orthopedische Interventies (LROI) does

Landelijke Registratie Orthopedische Interventies (LROI) is the national quality registry for orthopedic interventions in the Netherlands, established in 2007 by the Nederlandse Orthopaedische Vereniging (NOV) (Dutch Orthopedic Association). It operates as a non-profit foundation headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, with 16 employees, and records over 1.3 million prosthesis registrations cumulatively, including 94,165 added in 2024 alone. The registry tracks primary and revision procedures across hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, wrist, finger/thumb prostheses, and since 2021 has expanded into pediatric orthopedics with clubfoot treatment registration and in 2024 added a pilot for anterior cruciate ligament (VKB) registration. The platform is web-based, with a secure portal (vragenlijst.lroi.nl), a real-time LROI Dashboard for hospital departments, CUSUM statistical control charts for case-mix-adjusted revision monitoring, an annual Procedure Uitkomstanalyse that identified 11 outliers in 2025, and a PROMs Portal collecting Patient Reported Outcome Measures at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery. The technology integrates with hospital EPD systems via XML upload, Databroker, or a PROMs API, with 11 certified software vendors.

LROI's business model is non-commercial: it is funded through structural arrangements tied to its recognition under the Wet kwaliteitsregistraties Zorg (Wkkgz), the Dutch Quality Registrations Healthcare Act. On July 2, 2026, LROI-implantaten and LROI-klompvoet were admitted to the Register for Quality Registrations of Zorginstituut Nederland, formalizing Wkkgz compliance and unlocking structural government funding. There is no per-account pricing or transactional revenue; instead, healthcare providers are mandated to participate under quality regulations. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales in form (account provisioning with hospital email verification and LROI contact-person confirmation) but regulatory in substance. LROI also supplies data to the national Landelijk Implantatenregister (LIR) for cross-system patient traceability.

LROI serves Dutch hospitals across orthopedic surgery, trauma surgery, and plastic surgery departments, individual orthopedic surgeons (NOV members), and academic researchers who access the data via 205 completed research projects and the LROI Subsidieregeling grant program and 24-month LROI Fellowship. Quality monitoring data is used for hospital benchmarking, scientific publications (25 in 2025; the 100th cumulative publication was reached in October 2023), and patient safety: 100% of registered prostheses can be traced back to patients in case of a calamity, and an estimated 800,000 Dutch people (1 in 12 aged 40+) live with a hip, knee, or shoulder prosthesis. The organization is governed by a Director (Geke Denissen MSc), a Medical Director (Dr. Bart Pijls), a Supervisory Board, a Scientific Advisory Board (WAR), a Registration Advisory Board (RAR), and a Stakeholders Council including patient organizations.

The registry captures both clinical data and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), enabling quality monitoring, benchmarking, traceability for patient safety, and scientific research with over 1.3 million cumulative registrations.

Product overview

The LROI is a national quality registry platform for orthopedic interventions in the Netherlands. The core offering consists of the LROI Quality Registration (tracking joint prostheses and treatments), complemented by the PROMs-portaal for patient-reported outcomes, the LROI Dashboard and CUSUM Control Chart for quality monitoring, Kwaliteitsrapporten for quality reporting, and specialized registrations including Klompvoetregistratie, Voorste kruisband (VKB) registratie, and Complicatieregistratie. Additional services include the Research Database for scientific access, Data-aanvragen for research data requests, and grant programs (LROI Subsidieregeling and Fellowship). The platform integrates with 11 certified PROMs software providers via XML/API and supplies data to the national Landelijk Implantatenregister (LIR).

• Zorginstituut NederlandcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 July 2026LROI-implantaten and LROI-klompvoet registrations were officially admitted to the Register for Quality Registrations of Zorginstituut Nederland on July 2, 2026. This formal recognition confirms both registrations meet legal requirements under the Wet kwaliteitsregistraties Zorg (Wkkgz). The VKB (anterior cruciate ligament) registration is currently under assessment for inclusion.
• Nederlandse Orthopaedische Vereniging (NOV)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2007NOV (Dutch Orthopedic Association) established LROI in 2007 and remains the primary organizational partner. NOV sets guidelines and quality standards that integrate with LROI data. The LROI works closely with NOV committees including Commissie Kwaliteit (Quality Committee) and various working groups (Heup, Knie, Schouder, etc.).
• Landelijk Implantatenregister (LIR)coreTechnology or IntegrationLROI supplies data to the national Landelijk Implantatenregister (LIR) of the Ministry of VWS. This enables patients to also be traced through this national register, providing an additional safety net beyond the LROI system.
• Samenwerkende Kwaliteitsregistraties (SKR)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerLROI participates in the Samenwerkende Kwaliteitsregistraties (SKR), a collaboration of quality registries in the Netherlands. SKR enables learning between registries and joint advocacy for quality improvement in healthcare.
• PREZIES (PREventie van ZIEkenhuisinfecties door Surveillance)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerLROI collaborates with PREZIES for validation studies of periprosthetic joint infections. PREZIES collects data on postoperative wound infections in a national infectious disease surveillance system. Linkage studies have enabled improved understanding of infection reporting completeness.
• Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerLROI data is combined with CBS (Statistics Netherlands) population data to estimate prevalence of joint prostheses in the Dutch population. CBS data on mortality is used alongside LROI registration data for survival analyses.
• International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (ISAR)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerLROI participates in ISAR, an international organization of arthroplasty registries. LROI contributed to the ISAR initiative for standardized reporting of orthopedic registry data, developing templates for improved global comparison of implant outcomes.
