title: [A national hand surgery alloarthroplasty registry].
abstract: In hand surgery multiple different alloarthroplasties are available. However, the clinical outcome of them is largely unknown. Therefore, clinical evaluation of the different alloarthroplasties is essential. To ensure the quality standards that exist in endoprostheses of large joints the initialization of a central alloarthroplasty registry is essential.
