There are so many short books on the arthroplasty in the market, but usually they are focused in detail on one particular aspect of the arthroplasty. There was a need for a book which talks about simple practical approach to hip and knee arthroplasty. A book which gives all information from basic to the recent advances and current controversies in easily understandable language which even an orthopedic surgeon working in remote areas can understand and follow the concepts of the arthroplasty. By keeping these objectives in mind, the book has been written with sincere efforts. 

The book would be a great help for the postgraduates, residents, consultants and other surgeons who want to understand and learn the art of arthroplasty but may not be having a good mentor or shy to clear their doubts about arthroplasty because of their position, age or other reasons. The book cannot replace the standard textbooks of arthroplasty or orthopedics, but it will be of immense help as a handbook for the operation theater, indoor, outdoor clinical practice among budding arthroplasty surgeons.
