Joint Reconstruction

Example: Hip Reconstruction

A joint is the place where two or more bones come in contact with one another. When a joint becomes damaged or degenerated, typically from overuse, severe trauma or cancer, your doctor may recommend using a biologic implant, either by itself or in combination with a metal implant.

Biologic implants are a natural alternative to synthetic and metal implants, and unlike synthetic and metal implants, biologic implants incorporate into the patient’s body.

It is important to discuss questions or concerns with your physician before your surgery.
