Total Joint Replacements in Hip and Knee Ankylosed in Gross Flexion: Case Report

Abstract Around 500,000 total hip and knee arthroplasties are performed each year in the United States, with a comparable number performed annually throughout the rest of the world. Since its development in the 1960s, contemporary total joint arthroplasty has proven to be extremely successful in alleviating pain and restoring joint function. However, for a minority of patients, mechanical and biological sequelae emanating from the breakdown of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMPWE) bearings limit the longevity of the procedures.

This chapter provides an overview of common elective interventions used in the specialty of orthopaedics. Evidence-based concise information is provided regarding total joint replacements and revision of joint replacements including preoperative preparation. Other procedures such as osteotomy, arthrodesis, and arthroscopic surgery are also explained. Common procedures used for correction of deformity of hands and feet are also explained with an emphasis on good pain management and a holistic approach to supporting patients before and following these procedures.
