AB  - Adult  reconstructive  surgery  in  orthopedics  has  changed  rapidly  over  the  past  several  decades.  Prior  to  the  successful  development  of  so-called  low-friction  arthroplasty  of  the  hip  in  the  late  1960s,  treatment  options  for  severe  joint  disease  were  limited.  Reconstructive  procedures  with  high  success  rates  are  now  available  for  a  variety  of  disorders,  from  marked  degenerative  hip  and  knee  disease  to  rotator  cuff  tears  of  the  shoulder.  Research  has  increased  the  understanding  of  joint  function  and  contributed  to  the  success  of  almost  all  reconstructive  procedures,  and  there  is  now  tremendous  demand  for  these  procedures.  In  2010,  total  knee  arthroplasty  and  total  hip  arthroplasty  procedures  were  estimated  to  number  770,000  and  280,000,  respectively,  in  the  United  States  and  are  increasing  by  approximately  65,000/year  and  15,000/year,  respectively.  This  is  the  result  of  their  great  success  in  returning  patients  to  active  lifestyles  and  the  increasing  numbers  of  older  patients.  Millions  of  Americans  are  now  benefiting  from  these  procedures  for  extended  periods.  Because  the  cumulative  procedure  failure  rate  is  approximately  1%  per  year,  10  years  after  the  operation,  patients  have  approximately  a  90%  chance  of  still  having  a  successful,  well-functioning  joint  replacement.
