In hip resurfacing – unlike a conventional hip replacement – the entire femoral head is not removed.
Instead:
As a result, most of the natural anatomy is preserved.
Ceramic hip resurfacing with ReCerf® is based on the established principles of traditional hip resurfacing and represents its further development.
The ceramic technology used has been established in joint replacement surgery for many years.
Key Features:
Ceramic hip resurfacing has now been implanted thousands of times and has shown stable results in clinical observations so far.
Even larger ceramic heads, as used in hip resurfacing, are now clinically well established.
The procedure is particularly suitable for:
By preserving the patient’s own bone, the procedure may be particularly interesting for those who wish to retain as much bone stock as possible in the long term.
Important:
Not every patient is suitable for this procedure.
The decision is always made individually after a thorough examination.
The optimal treatment of hip conditions requires an individual decision – not a standard solution.
Sportorthopädie.berlin offers the full spectrum of modern hip medicine:
This ensures that patients receive a treatment tailored to their individual condition – rather than a single standardized method.
Ceramic hip resurfacing is a targeted option for selected patients in whom a bone-preserving approach is appropriate.
