Biomaterials in total joint replacement
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2004The current state of materials systems used in total hip replacement is presented in this paper. An overview of the various material systems used in total hip replacement reported in literature is presented in this paper. Metals, polymers, ceramics and composites are used in the design of the different components of hip replacement implants. The merits

Total Replacement of the Elbow Joint
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1973SUMMARY Biomechanical factors that are important in reconstructive procedures of the hip have been presented. The significance of the lever arm system in reducing hip joint forces has been emphasized as well as restoration of leg length and normal physiological muscular tension.

Total Replacement of the Elbow Joint
Archives of Surgery, 1977Total replacement of the elbow joint has been performed on 86 elbows at the Mayo Clinic, all but 15 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The Mayo design, which replaces both radiohumeral and humeroulnar joints, was used in 41 elbows, almost all in rheumatoid patients, with 71% good results.

Total Glenohumeral Joint Replacement
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1975Some of the anatomical considerations of the glenohumeral joint with respect to prosthetic replacement have been discussed. One approach to prosthetic design has been presented along with the early clinical experience with this design. It is hoped that this information will serve as a reference point for future work to be done in this area.

Ankle arthritis results in a stiff and painful ankle and can be a major cause of disability.1 For people with end-stage ankle arthritis, arthrodesis (ankle fusion) is effective at reducing pain in the shorter term, but results in a fixed joint, and over time the loss of mobility places stress on other joints in the foot that may lead to arthritis, pain

Total Replacement of the Hip Joint
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 19731. A thousand arthritic hips have been replaced by an uncemented metal-on-metal prosthesis, and 942 followed by annual review. The mortality of the operation has been 1·1 per cent, the rate of deep-seated infection 0·7 per cent and the incidence of dislocation 0·3 per cent. 2.

Infection in Total Joint Replacement
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1990Although a small number of infections in total joint replacements are blood borne from distant sources, most infections appear to have been derived at operation. Strenuous attempts to reduce this risk by cleaning the air in the wound environment, coupled with prophylactic antibiotics, have reduced infection rates by an order of magnitude in a decade ...

Total joint replacement in osteoarthritis
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2006Surgical approaches have been developed for most of the sites of osteoarthritis, including the carpal metacarpal and first metatarsal phalangeal joint, the hips, knees, shoulders, ankles and elbows. This chapter will address surgical options for advanced osteoarthritis of the hips and knees and will focus primarily on total hip and knee replacement.

Infected Total Joint Replacement
Archives of Surgery, 1977Infections of bones and joints are always a serious problem with an uncertain outcome. Infections that involve joint replacement prosthesis are no exception. The development of air filtering and closed ventilating systems for operating room personnel and a reassessment of prophylactic antibiotics are direct results of the serious and often disastrous ...

Total surface replacement of the hip joint
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1974AbstractThe surface replacement hip prosthesis reported represents an attempt to improve upon some aspects of the present design of total hip. The prosthesis comprises a cap fitted over the femoral head and a liner fixed into the socket, both being cemented with methyl methacrylate. The chief advantage of this design is preservation of bone stock.
