In recent years there have been some revolutionary advances in joint replacement surgery. Till recently the joints, which were commonly replaced were that of knee joints and hip joints. Now the other parts of body can also be replaced in the same manner like shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger and ankle joints. The revolutionary materials and cementing is done which are more long lasting and body friendly.

It has been observed that Asian bones are not only small but also more fragile as compared to European and American bones. This discovery has led to better joints, which are better replicates of original joints and their life span has also increased to 20 to 25 years.

The other major development in orthopedic surgery has taken place in knee surgery, which is called uni-compartmental knee replacement. Now the recovery has become more swift and painless due to better cementing techniques. This surgery is more useful for younger generation because now surgery is also done without using binding materials. The screws and other press fit methods ensure further replacements and adjustments with less difficulty and pain.

In case of hip replacement surgery the method called hybrid hip replacement techniques is becoming common with higher success rates. The younger generation is showing higher success rate. Here the hip joint cup is fixed without cement through screws. The femoral component or the part of bone only needs cementing material. This technique has increased the life of joints and reduced post surgery recovery period.
