Abstract

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure oriented to provide pain-free motion to a joint maintaining stability and restore function to the periarticular soft tissues and muscles that control it. The modern total joint replacement is defined by pioneering work of Sir John Charnley; referring to his “low-friction” arthroplasty concepts, similar total joint designs were developed for most of the other major joints including the knee, ankle, shoulder, and elbow. The authors provide basic knowledge of the functional anatomy of the major joints and general biomechanics of articular prostheses, which is required to orthopedic surgeon in order to perform properly replacement and select implants. The material properties and fixation methods of joint implants is paramount to prostheses performances and their survivorship. The new developments in bearing surfaces and coating materials represent the attempt to bring joint prostheses to the next level and get a further increase as in performance as well in longevity by decreasing the wear degradation and osseointegration problems.
