Abstract:
:In experience with total joint replacement in the lower extremity, to date, total hip arthroplasty has been the most successful. Total arthroplasty operations as applied to the knee and ankle are giving promising results. These methods offer new avenues for relief of pain and deformity and stabilization of arthritic joints in the lower extremity.
