“…ORIF involves permanently implanting screws and plates to hold the fragmented bones in place. It is the preferred intervention for joint fractures such as the hip, where only a partial component of the joint requires removal (i.e., removal of the acetabular socket but not the femoral head for a hip injury) [26,28]. In contrast, total joint arthroplasty (or joint replacement surgery) involves removing part or all of a diseased joint and replacing it with prosthetics made of metal, plastic, or ceramic to restore the normal movement and function of the joint [29,30].…”
