Joint arthroplasty in general has experienced tremendous advances over the past few decades. Numerous improvements in implant design, instrumentation, anesthesia, surgical techniques, intraoperative navigation, and materials have occurred in hip and knee arthroplasty. Although elbow arthroplasty also has seen continual improvements, much remains to be accomplished before elbow arthroplasty can be recommended to patients with the same level of confidence as hip or knee arthroplasty.
总体而言，关节置换术在过去几十年中取得了巨大进展。髋关节和膝关节置换术在植入物设计、器械、麻醉、手术技术、术中导航和材料等方面有了许多改进。虽然肘关节置换术也在不断改进，但在能够像髋关节或膝关节置换术那样自信地向患者推荐之前，仍有许多工作要做。
