Arthroplasty

/ˈɑrθroʊplæsti/ noun

Definition

A surgical procedure that repairs or replaces a damaged joint, most commonly involving hip or knee replacement with artificial components. It restores joint function and reduces pain in patients with severe arthritis or joint damage.

Etymology

From Greek 'arthron' meaning 'joint' and 'plassein' meaning 'to form' or 'to mold.' The term literally means 'joint forming' or 'reshaping a joint.'

Kelly Says

Modern arthroplasty has given millions of people their mobility back, with some artificial joints lasting 20+ years and allowing patients to return to active lifestyles. The first successful hip replacement was performed in 1960, and today's prosthetic joints are made from advanced materials like titanium and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
