Abstract
Modern reconstructive orthopedic surgery would be unthinkable without the availability of alloplastic total joint prostheses. In the 1960s, faced with the problem that resection arthroplasty as an uncertain procedure with recurrent deformity and limited motion as common complications, Sir John Charnley developed a successful low-friction total alloplastic joint reconstruction arthroplasty device.1 Since that time, with the evolution of surgical techniques, implant materials, and designs, excellent long-term function and quality of life improvement results have been reported along with device survival rates exceeding 90% after 10 years in younger patients.
