the history of joint replacement: a preliminary guide
DESCRIPTION
The Dr Margaret Angus Research Fellowship from 2003 explores the main points and extensive evolution of joint excision toward the modern concept of joint replacement. Coverage of the development of artificial joints is followed by a discussion of the impact and history of joint replacement surgery in Kingston and a supplemental description of the emergence of artificial elbow joints. The paper concludes by presenting patient cases as examples of the influence of joint replacement surgery in Canadian society.TRANSCRIPT
