Condition Description

Joint replacement

Joint replacement surgery involves replacing a destroyed joint with an artificial joint. In knee or hip replacement surgery, the artificial joint is made out of metal and plastic. In the case of joint replacement in the hand, the new joint is most commonly composed of silicone rubber or the patient's own tissues such as a portion of tendon. Joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, is very common. Many of these procedures result from arthritis and sports/exercise injuries.
