What is Joint Replacement?

Joint replacement, also known as arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased joint with an artificial joint. The artificial joint, called a prosthesis, is made of metal, plastic, or ceramic.

Joint replacement is most commonly performed on the knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows, but it can also be done on other joints, such as the ankles, wrists, and fingers.
