Radiology of small joint replacement is underrepresented compared to hip or knee arthroplasty. This review covers joint types, efficacy, radiographic findings, and complications for extremity joint replacements.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Small joint arthroplasty is less frequently studied radiographically than hip or knee replacements.
  • Understanding the imaging of small joint replacements is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the radiology of small joint arthroplasty in the upper and lower extremities.
  • To detail the types of joint replacements, their clinical efficacy, and expected radiographic appearances.
  • To present potential complications and their characteristic radiographic findings.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published studies on small joint arthroplasty.
  • Analysis of radiographic appearances of various small joint prostheses.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with clinical efficacy and complications.

Main Results:

  • Overview of different small joint replacement types (e.g., finger, toe, wrist, ankle).
  • Description of typical postoperative radiographic features for each joint type.
  • Identification and illustration of common complications such as loosening, infection, and malalignment.

Conclusions:

  • This review provides a comprehensive guide to the radiographic assessment of small joint arthroplasty.
  • Familiarity with expected imaging findings and potential complications is essential for radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.
  • Further research may be warranted to establish standardized imaging protocols for small joint replacements.
