The artificial joint consists of a special metal part on one side and dense plastic (polyethylene) on the other side usually fixed to bone with special bone cement. The materials are well tolerated by the body and rarely cause any reaction or allergy. Imported joints cost more but have been successfully used for 10-20 years. Hundreds of different models of joints are available. Some perform better and have superior results to others.
