Joint replacement of the hand is a procedure that was invented by the Scottish scientist, Mitchell McGuire. The procedure was considered a major breakthrough in the medical field at the time. However, it is now considered an almost standard operation. The first successful surgery of this kind was conducted on 21 December 1992, in New York City, US. This surgical option is reserved for patients with advanced arthritis or with a hand deformity.
