Parts of an arthritic or diseased joint are surgically removed and replaced with prosthetic devices made of metal, plastic, or ceramic during a total joint replacement. The prosthesis is made to mimic the motion of a healthy, normal joint. The most frequent joint replacements are on the hip and knee, although other joints, such as the ankle, wrist, shoulder, and elbow, can also undergo replacement surgery. When two or more bones' ends come together, a joint is created. The body has several distinct kinds of joints. As an illustration, the knee is referred to as a "hinge" joint because it can bend and straighten like a hinged door. The hip and shoulder are "ball-and-socket" joints, where one bone's rounded end fits into the other bone's cup-shaped section.
