AB Interpretation  of  postoperative  orthopedic  radiographs  comprises  a  significant  portion  of  the  practice  of  not  only  subspecialized  musculoskeletal  radiologists  but  also  general  radiologists.  A  good  foundation  and  understanding  of  the  most  common  performed  orthopedic  procedures  is  essential  for  accurate  interpretation  of  postoperative  radiographs.  This  chapter  reviews  the  basic  concepts  of  joint  replacement,  spinal  fusion,  and  fracture  fixation,  which  are  some  of  the  most  common  procedures  performed  by  orthopedic  surgeons.  In  addition,  the  postoperative  evaluation  of  various  orthopedic  hardware  including  the  imaging  findings  for  common  complications  will  be  discussed.
