AB The  majority  of  inpatient  orthopedics  focus  on  the  hip,  knee,  and  spine.  Improvements  in  orthopedic  implants,  techniques,  and  overall  medical  care  have  expanded  indications  for  reconstructive  efforts  to  restore  function,  reduce  pain,  and  improve  quality  of  life.  This  chapter  reviews  the  most  common  major  operations  typically  encountered  in  the  hospital  setting.
