Implants for Joint Replacement of the Hip and Knee

Original language description

Joint replacement is a commonly performed, highly successful orthopedic procedure, for which surgeons have a large choice of different materials and implant designs. The first procedures for hip and knee were performed as early as the late 1960s. Since then, biomaterials used in joint replacement have evolved to a high degree. This chapter is a detailed review of modern joint replacements. Today’s implants are made from metals and their alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites and articulate via their bearing surface. A deep understanding of the different biomaterials as well as their design for joint implants is provided. The clinical outcomes of these bearing surfaces are extensively discussed as well as the different fixation techniques. Critical issues such as joint replacement in the young patient, periprosthetic joint infection, as well as wear and osteolysis are addressed. Moreover, specific topics relative to hip replacement (dislocation, big heads, alternative bearing surfaces, head–neck taper interface) and knee replacement (malalignment, stiffness, allergy, patient satisfaction) are detailed. Specific medical conditions (including elderly patients with osteoporosis, patients with rheumatic diseases, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, chronic renal osteopathy, Paget disease) which may jeopardize clinical outcomes of joint replacements are summarized.
