Reconstruction by arthroplasty restores function and mobility to joints incapacitated by pain, deformity and limitation of movement. Arthroplasty may be achieved by the excision of bone-ends with or without the interposition of flexible material, by the grafting of articular cartilage and by total or partial prosthetic replacement.
