ABSTRACT
There is little published on the radiology of small joint arthroplasty when compared with the commonly performed hip or knee replacement. The types of joint replacement, their clinical efficacy, and the expected radiographic appearances are reviewed for each of these upper and lower extremity joints. Potential complications and their radiographic appearances are presented.
KEYWORDS
