N2 - Blockchain technology is now being employed across a variety of businesses for smart contracts, data privacy, and supply chain management. A system with a data source can be decentralized, open, safe, and trusted with the help of the new data infrastructure known as blockchain, which permits smooth data transfer in a distributed ledger. But the majority of the currently available healthcare applications either emphasize data exchange or transactions between several parties. In order to enhance collaboration in implant surgery and streamline the operational processes, the authors propose integrating the blockchain to increase data sharing among various stakeholders. The authors have discussed the difficulty and state of implant orthopaedic surgery in this post. The authors outline the usual procedure for implant operations and how incorporating blockchain technology can make it easier. On the other hand, a framework for implementation is put out that takes into account data gathering, data integrity, and stakeholder cooperation.
