Abstract
The UK Bone and Joint Infection Registry (BAJIR) is a national project established in 2018 with the aim of collecting information about demographics, co-morbidities, pathogens, treatment strategies and outcomes on all patients who are diagnosed with, and treated for, a bone or joint infection in the UK with the objective of providing an understanding of the burden of disease. In time these data will be used to inform best practice, direct research and provide information for commissioners of healthcare. In this fracture-related infection special edition article, we discuss the registry's development, relevance and how we see it directing our practice in the future. Equally, we have highlighted some potential limitations and lessons learned.
