Surface Articular Prosthesis

A surface articular prosthesis is a medical device used to replace or repair damaged joint surfaces, typically in the knee or hip. It consists of a carefully crafted, durable component that covers the damaged surface, restoring smooth movement and reducing pain. Unlike full joint replacements, surface prostheses preserve more of the natural bone and tissue, focusing only on the damaged area. This approach can offer quicker recovery and preserve joint function, making it an effective option for patients with joint wear or injury who want to maintain as much natural joint structure as possible.
