Hip and knee arthroplasty, or hip/knee replacement, are surgical procedures in which the hip joint or knee is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Once considered highly complex operations, they are now common orthopaedic procedures. Tips and Tricks in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty is a concise guide to hip and knee replacement for orthopaedic surgeons and trainees. Divided into two sections, the first is dedicated to the hip, the second to the knee. Both sections begin with applied anatomy and the history and biomechanics of the joint.
