24 Jun Dr. Perka – It could be the best registry in the world
Newsletter June 24, 2025
Welcome!
Dear Sir or Madam, dear customers and interested parties,
We are pleased to once again offer you exciting insights into the topic of endoprosthetics with this edition of our ARTIQO newsletter.
This time, the focus is on the future of the newly created Implant Register Germany (IRD) and the established Endoprosthetic Register (EPRD). Prof. Dr. Carsten Perka, Berlin, has given us firsthand insights into the current status of the discussion.
We’re looking at Australia, specifically at the current annual report of the registry there. Naturally, we are also interested in the performance of short-stem systems there. The results of our research “Down Under” can be found in the article.
And we spoke with Dr. We spoke with Dr. Mumme Schüller, Cloppenburg. He and his team have already performed several bilateral total hip replacements in a single session. We wanted to know what this means for patient selection and perioperative processes. And, of course, what role the A2® Short Stem System plays in this.
Here’s to a stimulating read and happy reading!
Yours, Ulrich Bücken

In conversation with Prof. Dr. Perka
“It could become the best registry in the world.”
The “traffic light” vote left a lot of work undone in Berlin. Now, under the leadership of the new Federal Minister of Health, Nina Warken (CDU), the question arises: What will happen next with the planned Implant Register Germany (IRD)? And what does this mean for the established Endoprosthesis Register Germany (EPRD)?
We spoke with Prof. Dr. Carsten Perka, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, in his role as Scientific Director and Spokesperson of the EPRD Executive Committee, about the current status.
A Look Down Under
Australian Registry Confirms EPRD Short-Stem Results
Different countries, different patient populations, and different care philosophies. What does the Australian care reality actually look like with regard to short-stems? We took a look at the latest 2024 Annual Report of the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR).
Simultaneous Bilateral Total Hip Replacement
Progress makes it possible
Medical and technological advances—particularly minimally invasive surgical techniques, innovative implants such as the A2® Short Stem, and optimized procedures—now make it possible to implant both hip replacements in a single session.
Dr. Mumme Schüller, Cloppenburg, and his team have already performed several of these procedures and share their experiences in an interview.
