Results for tag: "Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty"

Cementless total knee arthroplasty, often referred to as cementless knee replacement, is a surgical procedure performed to replace parts of the knee joint with prosthetic components that are secured without the use of bone cement. This method relies on the bone growing directly into the surface of the implant for stability, a process known as osseointegration. It is part of the broader orthopedic devices market that encompasses medical technology concerns with the development, manufacture, and utilization of devices to correct or assist the function of the musculoskeletal system. Cementless knee replacements serve as an alternative to traditional cemented knee procedures and have become popular due to the potential benefits they offer in terms of biological fixation and the elimination of cement-related complications. The effectiveness of these implants is influenced by design, the materials used, and the surface coatings that encourage bone growth. With advancements in the field, options for porous metals, bioactive surface treatments, and improved implant geometries are being continuously developed to enhance integration and longevity of knee prostheses. Some prominent companies involved in the cementless total knee arthroplasty market include Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, DePuy Synthes (part of Johnson & Johnson), Smith & Nephew, and Conformis. These companies invest in research and development to innovate their product portfolios and provide solutions aimed at improving patient outcomes and quality of life post-surgery. Show Less Read more
