Abstract
We describe a method of audit of a type of total knee replacement, includin g some details of the organisational difficulties of administering multicen tre studies, and draw attention to how this can be done using industrial fu nding without prejudicing the study. This is a prospective record of 1439 p atients who had an Insall-Burstein II (IBII) prosthesis implanted between 1 990 and 1994. The data were collected using the American Knee Society scori ng system. A method of storing radiographs digitally at low cost is also de scribed.
