Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure for the restoration of the function of a joint wherein the treatment is beyond treatments like medication or physical therapy. It involves the replacing, remodelling, or realigning the articular surface of a joint, by implanting an artificial component called prosthesis, which is made of materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic.
