    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Joint destruction necessitates surgical intervention.
    • Total joint replacement (TJR) utilizes prosthetic components to restore function.
    • Methylmethacrylate cement has been the standard fixation method since the 1960s.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current total joint replacement techniques.
    • To highlight recent developments in upper extremity prostheses.
    • To assess preliminary outcomes of new shoulder, elbow, and wrist replacements.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical correction of destroyed joints.
    • Insertion of plastic and metal prosthetic components.
    • Fixation of components to the skeleton using methylmethacrylate cement.
