Currently, over 100,000 patients have received Arthrosurface® implants, some of which have been in operation for up to 10 years.
How do implants differ from other existing devices?
- Individual selection and adjustment to the size and shape of the patient’s joint
- Much less cartilage and bone tissue is removed than with traditional joint replacement
- “In Lay” technique, i.e. sinking the implant into the joint so that it is flush with the surrounding cartilage and not on the surface – thanks to this technique, the pressure exerted on the tissues does not change
- Placement deep rather than on the surface exposes the joint to less surgical disruption
- Preservation of the motor function and primary structures of the joint, which prevents irreversible changes
- HemiCAP® implants are adjusted to the size and shape of the patient’s bones.
- Much less cartilage and bone is removed compared to traditional joint replacement.
- The implant is placed in the bone (inlay technique) and not on it (onlay), which restores the natural anatomy of the joint.
- The treatment allows patients to regain and continue an active lifestyle and daily routine
- Quick recovery and work
- Inlay implants are inherently more stable than onlay implants.
- Shorter recovery time and return to work faster than after total joint replacement
- HemiCAP® shoulder implants do not overload the joint like traditional total replacement.
- Patients can lift as much weight as they want.
