USE OF ODEP RATED IMPLANTS About ODEP

This shows the overall use of ODEP-rated hip implants in primary procedures by the Consultant in Charge between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023 as a proportion of their total primary procedures in the given time period. <br/><br/>What is an ODEP rating? When implants come onto the market, they must meet safety guidelines set down by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The level to which implants comply with the guidelines is assessed independently by the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP). ODEP assess the quality of follow-up evidence available for each implant (see https://www.odep.org.uk).<br/><br/>There are a number of reasons why an implant may not have an ODEP rating. For example, new implants that have not been in use for very long, implants being used as part of a clinical trial or reflecting that the manufacturer is yet to submit evidence to ODEP for evaluation.

Data for 1 April 2022 - 31 March 2023
