“Taking a long view, one may wonder whether joint replacement, though a brilliant tactical success, represents the true path of progress in orthopedics or whether it represents a very specialized but temporary makeshift.… A more fundamental knowledge of the biology of the cartilage cell … may lead to presently unconceived methods of preventing and treating chronic arthritis that will leave joint replacement as dead as a dinosaur.” – Davis LeVay , The History of Orthopedics
