Abstract
This chapter covers relevant aspects of imaging of prostheses. Initially, a brief historical review is given, as well as a description of the relevant terminology in the radiology of prostheses. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of the composition of current prostheses, including individual designs. The indications and contraindications are then outlined. The preoperative and postoperative evaluation of images follows, with a description of the various measurements, including angles that are relevant to the radiologist and orthopedist. Finally, a description of the immediate and delayed complications that are encountered, including the pathogenesis of these complications, completes the chapter.
