Total Joint Replacement

Total joint replacement has become a widely performed and accepted procedure for the treatment of arthritis in joints. There has been an exhaustive accumulation of data over the past 20 years that have supported joint arthroplasty as a standard operation that improves the overall function of the joints, and numerous textbooks deal with this particular topic.Dr. Petty has edited a textbook that deals fairly well with the subject, with an excellent presentation of background material and basic science relating to total joint replacement and design.
